Is it still avaliable for macs, and, if so, what's the hardware support like? s

I've thought about installing it on a couple of extra boxes I've got around here, but I don't have room to set them up, really. Guess I could use Linux for email. Any virus problems? s

Get out the soap. One would think this box could play something besides Quake III. I'm pretty sure the disks are defective. It kept looking for files that were not installed... and would not uninstall. s

Howell, you may have a point... s

Funny Tannin, but not only computers, but that extra ten years would have been nice. 10 years of Hawaii with less crowds, etc. for surfing... s

You watch a DVD on one screen, rip another in a another DVD reader, And open IE, and type this in another. Amazing part is, all works and goes smoothly... s

Having less luck with Tiger Woods 2003 on the pc. Apparently the Matrox P650 driver is not working real well. See if the patch fixes it. Just had to reinstall the entire game... Do a complete install, then the game asks for the CD's? This one maybe going back. Costco is a wonderful thing... s

Don't ask... Probably because it can look really good, using the Voodoo 5500 and the Sony monitor, and, perhaps I just hate to see all that software sit in a box. The end result was, crashed system. Somehow I changed the setting for the video card to out of range for the monitor... The result...

MAC TO PLAY GAMES???? I got the great idea of trying to get stuff to run on my mac. Now most of my games work ok, but they are 7X and 8X. I'm running 9.2.1, and, its a frigging nightmare to get the old games to work on it. The machine is probably best with 8.6, but I can't remember why I...

DD: You run a gaming rig. Get RAZER mouses. If you don't like the difference, your customers will. s

Well, I point and shoot with my left hand and the mouse, and use the right to move, jump etc. using the up and down arrows. I use a MSFT internet keyboard, and currently the logitech mouse. For some reason, at maximum dpi for the mouse, I have a better chance of Fragging Xaero. Only took me...

"Amy is around more?" What's up with that? s

It just dawned on me why I like the mouse so much. I'm lefthanded, and I have to have nuetral mouses, or designed left handed. s

RAZER does a pretty good job of describing that on their website. In games, you get percise targeting, without skipping over your target, thanks to the high dpi rating. It's also easier on your wrist, since you don't have to move it as much. The Boomslang line just worked great, and fit my...

WELL, YEAH :excl: :excl: :wink:

I greived greatly when someone spilled wine on my mouse, and killed it :cry: I'm using a Logictech, which isn't bad. However, when going up against Xaero, I really like the Boomslang, and, it just got more comfortable after awhile. ONly problem is the ball gets dirty, but, since it's under...

Thanks. Didn't know that... s

Seagate has always been great, even on support of someone else's drives, on someone elses raid cards, f***** Promise. Can't forget that... s

Never made the trip with a phone. Always had two hands on the wheel... s

SF offers sex change operations for city employees. Anything to get people to take what the mil pays, and work for the armed forces, and, this will help surgeons who make jack in the mil, have a viable skill when they get out. I LIKE the fact that our tax dollars are actually going to...

SCSI! :roll:

When you start shopping for drives, you may well save the cost of the box, since every really good deal on a scsi drive seems to be an SCA 80 pin, with a converter, or without. s

Good points. s

HMMM. That might get me to rethink my storage approach. NOT :wink: s PS Seriously: IDE drives, or SATA, just became much more attractive...

5 has nearly put me to sleep. I NEVER drive it, for that reason, if possible. Too boring. 101 I like, and, from your neck of the woods, I'll drive 1 to LA, and enjoy it more. North of SF that's not practical... s

The cages should provide scsi id numbers, and termination. Of course your boxes are from compaq, so I'd check. Also, you need a driver for the box. You can set scsi ID's to be before 7 or after 7 by jumper. If you use two boxes in series, I wonder if both need termination jumpered on...

DD: Be careful. Most don't understand that Kalifornia air travel has become so screwed up that a flight to LA, with security wait, is the same as driving it. Don't do the drive. Figure something else out, or have a plan to stop at a hotel you know when you start to pass out. Have someone...

Merc: I don't know, but the ATA line has never been a real speed burner, so I hoped it was reliable... And I got the model wrong, it was a 15.2, IIRC. 15.3 is on the shelf, after coming out of this mac, since it wasn't much faster then the two cheetahs in Raid 0, and, the Tempo drivers were...

Sechs: Seagate does put effort into their scsi lines, and a failure is VERY rare, inside warranty. s

I told you, I told you! :mrgrn:

That would probably explain the deference I've felt using scsi, in raid 0, or in general. With Raid 0, I believe the extra cache, and more effective data transfer design, along with superior chips, and algorithims, make the effect more dramatic then the statistics might indicate. In other...

I had a clicking Cheetah 15.3 but firmware version 2. I needed a version 3 to match with my raid setup, since the other three drives are firmware version 3. I put that in my note to seagate, they rmaed the drive, and sent me a version three. It works just fine. It's the only Seagate cheetah...

Tannin: The only reason I bought the Quaxtor is we have Costco. If it fails, I return it to them, and they take care of it, without having to deal with Quaxtor. Great store, great prices. s

Depends on your purpose. I HAVE to have reliable storage, for some data. This means DVD backup, CD backup, the most reliable ide drive I could find, and, in the future, SCA drives for storage, and removeable, to further reduce their stress time. Boot wise, reinstalling an OS is no big deal...

Quaxtor does offer the DiamondMax with a 5 year warranty. So far, it's been a real bitch, not working on a 100 ATA Intel chipset channel, but, working on whorrers, an ATA133 Promise X2 or something like that, in my machine. Not fast, but, so far it hasn't failed, which is very important. s

Greg's new view on SCSI- "I was planning on using Seagate hard drives and Adaptec controller cards. Is there anything better, cheaper, faster......? " YES! Buy the single channel LSi controller. Hook it up to one of these...

I did put an old LVD UL3D ATTO card in this machine, and while it would boot sometimes, it was much less reliable then the ATTO UW OEM card. I suspect the compressed driver problem. s

Yes, two Cheetahs in Raid 0 are faster then one Cheetah, first generation, and it gives me plenty of storage space, even though it's on single channel. It's a pain to wait for 9.21 to boot with a single drive, and the dual setup is much quicker. Seems to elimenate a lag of about 30-45 seconds...

Sound support is the thing I was looking at. It appears the lite version includes picture stretching... CLEV or Clep, or something like that.

I've got the nuetered version that came with the DVD player. Is it worth upgrading? s

Jumpster would come in the shower, but the wet paws keep her outside. I think they are worried about the effects of water on us, and they wait to see what it does, and are concerned about our well being, being bathed in a substance they don't like. Jumpster stays outside the shower, until I'm...

Sorry for the image, but I don't know what the fascination is. She comes up, and sits right next to the toliet while I poop, and trys to grab the toliet paper as I use it. I tried one of those water fountain things, no joy. Returned in two days. She barely drinks out of a bowl. She only...

??? Have you ever tried SCSI raid 0 on a mac? s

She will also try to bite the toliet paper, and, she'll try and clean my private parts, if allowed. When I shower, she's always waiting for me when I get out. Wish my girlfriend would do that... s

I have the litter box next to the toliet. Jumpster will not only use the box, but she will use toliet paper, if it's anywhere with in reach, and, if not, she hits the empty toliet paper roll like a speed bag, trying to get TP on her stuff. She will also pull the wrapper out of the trash, to...

Hi Been screwing around with my G3 mac, and 9.21(9.22=conflict with softraid 221) for email. Since moving email to it, I have yet to have a virus, or worm. For awhile, I was averaging one every other day on my pc. I had setup off a first generation Cheetah. I decided to open an old raid...

Hi I'm backing up and hoping to get them to work in an old player. I thought DVD+R wouldn't work in the older players? S
