I've got a Sun server up 24/7 via ADSL that could run the list, bandwidth permitting. I could also help with configuration or administration of a co-located machine, if that's needed. At the flight-sim game company where I once worked, we had a Sparc/Solaris machine and an NT box co-located at AboveNet in San Jose, CA. Connectivity and equipment access were excellent. Needless to say, remote access was much easier with the Sun. - - Tom thomasw@xxx.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 14:33:17 -0700 From: Drew Eckhardt Subject: Re: [admin] What next....

NSI charges $70 when you first register (I think this is for two years, although I could be wrong - all my domains were registered when it was free or paid for by someone else), $35 a year after that. >John, can you give us an idea what the minimum requirements would be for >a machine to handle the lists in non digest mode and the WWW traffic? Not much. For the most part, we're I/O bound by the network. 486-66s and ancient Suns with similar processing power make fine mailing list/ftp servers, firewalls, etc; >I guess a 100 Mbit/sec connection would also be good? It would neither hurt nor help. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 17:24:19 -0500 (EST) From: William T Wilson Subject: Re: [admin] What next.... (MUST READ) I sent this mail or one like it originally to Orin in private, but in case we go to a vote or something, I may as well post it in public too. I have a cable modem which I run (exclusively) Linux behind. The bandwidth is less than it would be for a co-located system but more than ISDN. The advantage is that I already have the system, the disk space (hundreds of megabytes), and everything already set up, and know what I am doing. That and I already foot the bill. There should be plenty of bandwidth available for a mailing list. I have a domain too. A second advantage is that the computer is sitting in my basement, therefore is easy to get at in case of emergency. Sorry, though. I don't have the space to host all of team.net for you, whoever mentioned that ;) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 14:51:25 -0800 (PST) From: Orin Eman Subject: Re: [admin] What next....

It's been suggested that FreeBSD would be better for us than Linux. Either is OK by me, but I'll take the FreeBSD side of the argument unless someone really persuades me otherwise. To get things up and running fast, I'd suggest the machine be put in place with nothing much more than the OS, secure shell and outgoing ftp. I'd rather have our own server than the free lists. They are supported by advertising. It may be unobtrusive now...

They have a bunch of similar part numbers. Your local Bosch retailer/wholesaler should be able to pull a catalogue and help. This is a rollervane pump. Slight whine at these low pressures, but not bad at all.

(my site is low usage - has 1800 message > board entries and grows 2 or 3 a day) I've got a few colocated servers on a T1, but I'm not able to provide list services from there. I am willing to provide web and ftp services for free, I am a full time web programmer and can do custom cgi perl or php scripts for the site. I'm still trying to negotiate a place to install a linux machine provide mail services. I use linux both at home and at work and on my servers that run hoser.com, and have a lot of experience in this. I'm also willing to set up searchable archives, I have experimented with this in the past so it should be too much trouble. All of this will cost me little or no out of pocket. So keep me in mind before spending any money. - --Eric ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 22:04:43 EST From: Bard382@xxx.com Subject: Intake plenum Does anyone have a way of calculating the size needed for an intake plenum in relation to runner size? Mark H. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 16:57:03 +1100 From: Mark Atkinson Subject: NTK UEGO Just visiting from the efi332 list Currently I am building a engine management system utilising fully closed loop mixture control, none of this open loop at idle or WOT stuff. Anyway it will probably use the honda/toyota (NTK) UEGO. From the technical papers and patents on these devices they seem pretty straightforward. Rather than reinvent the wheel, if there is a design for an analog output interface for this device it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I will proceed to design and build one, it will probably have a non linearized 0 - 2.5V output corresponding to the 13:1/20:1 mixture. If it is of any use to the people on this list, I will post the circuit when finished. (just the uego interface) Hopefully around christmas. Thanks to Garfield and others for bringing these devices to my attention and posting the pinouts, part no, patent no and SAE paper numbers.

I'm planning my new motor buildup and will be using a holley 4Di setup. Can one run a sparkbox like a Crane HI-6S with the 4Di? I want to have the rev limiter and spark strength of the Crane box if I can while using the 4Di to control my timing and of course other EFI functions. Can I use the two together? I've yet to get in from work early enough to call Holley on their info line or start tinkering w/ the 4Di software. thanks PS anyone in Vancouver, BC knowing the whereabouts of an affordable sbc 400 core please drop me a line. ------------------------------ End of DIY_EFI Digest V4 #638 ***************************** To subscribe to DIY_EFI-Digest, send the command: subscribe diy_efi-digest in the body of a message to "Majordomo@xxx.
