Re: Updates
James Brown
Just to comment that the main problem here was that in my use of the ramdisk I had put both the received and receiving folders onto the ramdisk - which works just fine - but when the 0.fsy increased to over 30Mb that plus the received updates killed the processing as it exceeded the ramdisk level. Now that I have increased that to 150Mb all is fine - though I don't know if the fsy will ever return to the previous low levels.

missing NOAA 17 AVHRR segment was not a problem at this end, which is good news. I will continue to monitor the occasional segment loss from Met-8 and FSD. Regards Ian.

So, it looks (for my setup at least) as if that was a problem further up the line? I will keep a close eye on the next few passes to see if the problem repeats itself though. regards Nigel

Hope to be able to post some closing remarksUnfortunately, not yet. BIOS, drivers, EKU and Eumetcast software updated, but no difference. As a last resort with that mobo, I'll get a separate USB PCI board tomorrow and will try that. If that doesn't work then, the mobo will have to find a new home. It seems that the mobo manufacturer stopped the development of new Bioses for this specific board in 2001. Bad sign. Cheers etc., U.

I finally identified the mobo as a DFI AK74-SC. Bios update and driver installation will happen today (I've made it a habit to not touch relevant system parts at night after some mishaps...) The reception on the 'good' machine worked all night, got the complete update files, installed them on the good machine in just a few minutes (most time used up in rebooting). BTW, running the reception for *.* (i.e. all files sent by Eumetcast), resulted in 10 Gbytes from midnight until 11 am. Hope to be able to post some closing remarks on this topic real soon now. And I'll summarize these experiences for the friendly people in Darmstadt, so maybe someone else can benefit from it. Again, thanks, and tot zien, ciao, cheers, tschüß U.

Re: rec-vchannelss.ini and new data.....
Geoff Morris <user.group@...>
Just got back from week in the sun, wonderful. On reading mails for week I see talk about new data and recv-channels .ini
I am working on, or to be precise my son in law who knows how to do these things is, a utility that will rewrite the file so that you just get the data you want. It should be a matter of ticking the box for the data channels you want and saveing the file. Hope to have it in a couple of weeks. Geoff Morris gw3atz@btopenworld.com

Hello Ulrich,
Cheers in Dutch is "Tot ziens" ! Currently we have a full gale with heavy winds and occasional thunder over here, not a good time to work on antennas. Unfortunately I did have some problems years ago with 2 VIA mainboards that almost drove me crazy. But once you have the latest BIOS and found the correct chipset driver (and install sequence) it should not be a problem. But make sure you do not install a Soundblaster Live in a mobo with VIA 686 southbridge ! http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT042501034500 Good luck, Arne van Belle --- In MSG-1@yahoogroups.com, "Ulrich G.

Re: Looking at the logs...
Short report between some other tasks: The 'good' machine receives
and receives and receives.... at least the txt part of the update has arrived already too. Arne, you seem to have psychic abilities :) The chipset is VIA KT133 (northbridge) and something8269 or so on the south. At least, I could identify the manufacturer, the model, and yes, they have some drivers and, even better, some much later BIOS (mine is from 18/11/00, their latest s from 2002). So here is the clue, what flashing a BIOS has to do with weather observation...

Arne,
I am the one who's using extended USB, at the moment.... it's not Ulrich... :-) In past days I've gone crazy for some reception stop... I was wondering about MSG-2 data, then about receiving wide-sized update files, then about applying updates... Then I had a look at FAQ and moved EKU... maybe weakened contacts, maybe thermal problems since back USB is near to warm cooling out... Now it's working with extension, and according to Murphy's law I keep for a while... if it works don't change...

Hello Ulrich, To narrow the search, did this system ever received without problems ? Your description makes me think it has nothing to do with MDM but the USB communication to your EKU is failing whenever the CPU has to work ! Some mainboards (especially the early VIA boards) need their own special chipset driver loaded directly after Windows is installed. If you do not apply this chipset driver you may have bad performance or unpredictable errors. Try starting another "CPU intensive" program instead of MDM to see what happens. Using an extension cord is normally not a problem but it is an extra contact and extra part, increasing the theoretical chance on a failure ! (murphy's law ?) In some cases I have seen a too low voltage on the USB device when using a cheap extension cord. Good luck, Arne van Belle

Less the chipset driver (the device manager in win2k doesn't complain) than the BIOS settings for the iterrupts. I'll cast an eye on those. Some mainboards (especially the early VIA boards) need their ownI'll have to find out if there is a special driver set for that exotic motherboard. Looks like one of those minimal sets sold through some discounter chain. IfWhat speaks for your theory is this: I played with the priority parameter in rec-channels.ini today. Lowering it to 300 led to an increased up-time (949 files comprinsing 649 Mbyte collected on an HDD), until tellicast went belly-up (no pun intended!) 8^/ :-)))). Increasing the parameter to 700 let the machine stop after about 200 files (all without MDM or anything else running, screen savers etc. off.) I am right now testing it on my most powerful machine. Receiving all.all - In the meantime, I'll search for some drivers. As mentioned before, I don't use an extension cord. And the whole machine does _not_ look like it has lived on the shores of the North Sea, iow, probably not a contact problem, rather some interupt timing or conflict. Thanks again. Normally its my job to try remote diagnoses... and therapy attempts :) Hope to be able to give something back in time. And, what is cheers or tschüß in Neederlands? Cheers, U.
