got it from scotty in exchange for enough thick plexiglass to make a large fish tank for the whale. Unfortunately the plexi company went down in the recent crash of the stock market, the guy was fired and was told not to come back in to work before he could get to the formula he left on the mac, and the computer it was sold on ebay. Apparently a german company got the bid, found the formula and worked out the details, and well the result is now on slashdot.:P

Clear Hard Drive Mods

· Score: 5, Insightful
What don't you design a clear top drive case and maybe maxtor will start to sell hard drives in this factor. As volitile as the drive market obviously is, its good to have an edge. Plus on a 80G+ drive I would pay $15-20 more per drive...and your extra effort would be minimal for the extra change. Use glass though, cause plexiglass scratches too easy. I will be looking for these in the office depot before long...get to it, or maxtor could direct sell these to reap all the profits:).
Yea, just think, without the wombats we would have never had that wombat chant by Kevin Costner in the movie 3000 miles to graceland. What a loss that woulda been so we should save the wombat, yea thats the ticket.
Is is interesting that you have no problems. I have tried 3 mainboards (a dual pent III, and two athlon boards) and two seperate 2654U2 controllers (well one is a 2654U1) on one of my test machines. I have not had too many times that the lockups happen predictably, but I do have one senerio that is repeatable on the test machine. Compile a kernel four times in a row with no more that a couple seconds pause between... I use
make dep;make clean;make bzImage; make clean; make bzImage; make clean; make bzImage; make clean; make bzImage (make dep only the first time), and then usually in about 3-4 seconds after that, its locked, if not doing a ls -lR / >/tmp/listing.txt will finish it off. This happens on 2.2.19 and 2.4.17 kernels and even 2.4.18preX ones. This has to be done at the console or using screen or simlar as telneting in slows it down to the point that it don't kill it.
I appreciate this you letting me know this as I have a lot of storage that needs good raid controllers. I was more or less down to the AMI/LSI and the ICP/Intel controllers at this point. Its interesting that a good bit of the raid controller companies got bought over the last few years, its also interesting seeing the hard drive company buyouts.
Well I don't post on usenet, I decided to ask slashdot. Perhaps SCSI users don't have time to read usenet, I know I have not read a newsgroup except in digest form in about 3 years, much less posted.
I have had one since the first of november. I would have waited and got a 5500 if I were starting this late in the game, as the 5000 developer version is short on ram (the 32M it has it a little lean), but I guess if you can get it to run on a 5000 it will certainly run on a 5500.
Correction sorry

should have said:
and the panasonic you just change channels using the channel button and watch your signal strenghth on a station, when it goes up when phone is on or off and phone is not staticy...you are golden
I have a high end panasonic phone that works fine along with my linksys wap11 (and also worked fine with my dlink ap1000)...the seimens should work too. They will interfere if you do not have your systems set to different sets of channels. I have my wap11 set to channel 9, or 11 (11 I found works better than 9 that I used at one time on the ap1000) and the panasonic you just turn on and watch your signal strenghth on a station, when it goes up when phone is on or off and phone is not staticy...you are golden. You see there are 11 channels in the us and 12 elsewhere, and 3 seperate groups of channels whose freq do not overlap.
This only works with 2.5Ghz DSS phones and DSS (802.11b) equipment, you can forget it with a Freq Hopping (FH) phone or networking equipment like proxim sympony/rangelan...they will always conflict.
After all they real attacks will be from hackers all around the world. I was told a while back about a datacenter in dallas owned by SWB. It has power grids from both dallas and fort worth, and backup generators and diesel storage tanks and first dibs on fuel. Now thats nice for power outtages, but then it has bone density scanners, and temp and floor tile sensors and guards and all this crap for nothing...after all no one is actually going to take the time to GO there to attack a clients systems. Its a total waste of money to put your system in one of these mil spec places...sheesh its just to impress that bosses or very stupid admins.
So do the dpt smartraid controllers...I wonder if adaptec kept that kewl feature when they canibalized dpt. Also my old DEC does the same I believe, though I would have to check to be sure.
Well if you are worried, go to http://www.4front-tech.com and get their beta drivers...they are making the live driver support audigy also. Eventually it will be in the kernel, and of course oss drivers are smp safe.
design worshipers. "Clocked designs will never break a the 2 Gigahertz barrier they said"...we hit 2 Ghz now. Now the power problems and heat problems are getting resolved that they said would be the death of clocked chips, so now we can look forward to 10-20Ghz in the future with less power consumption. Maybe those clockless design freaks can go get lost now, when we need them we will call.
Did you try the cvs source from sourceforge (site mentioned earlier by someone else. It says storage support is recently supported and NOT stable in kernel release...you must patch it with the updates from cvs, if you did not you will have problems, also if you used kernels 2.4.7-2.4.11 you will have stability problems, must use 2.4.6 or 2.2.12+.

get a phaser printer (now xerox, used to be tektronix). The black ink is free for life and the color lasts a while for your average home user.
the remote is Harmony . . . so you got it backwards. it is a little confusing though, seems it should be the other way around.

Let me know if this kills you box!
Hehe me is palmkiller, how in the world did I suddenly become a coward :)
I just looked at them on their website, they have a 4x with 64M cache and battery backup installed for $900 street.
Which mylex raid card are you using?

OK, I will be scratching that mylex line off my list immediantly :).
Like that sulphur to make them stink like rotten eggs all the time (good thing they are gonna live in a specified area) and his book.
Microdoc would have repaired it for $69.00.

I don't think they have to be. According to www.winehq.org in the app database ie 2.0 up through 5.5 works fine, and 6.0 works with a little tweaking.
Sounds like HomePna 2.0 to me. 10Mbit that works over even crappy phone lines in the home.

that makes since, since dma 66 is 528Mbits/sec or 66MBytes/sec.
