Well, the old Hewlett-Packard 6L is getting troublesome. As ever with the 5L/6L models, it's the paper feed that's playing up. The fact that it's winter here and the paper tends to get a bit damp doesn't help. I'll take it down to the local printer guy and get him to have a play with it, but...

Mercutio, I had trouble like yours with the console client when I was trying to run it alongside the United Devices client. As soon as I got rid of UD, it became perfectly OK. I've run it on about 15 machines, I guess, nearly all VIA chipset Athlons, but also K6-IIIs (VIA), a P-III (VIA with...

Hi Alpha! Good to see you around here. :) As I recall, it was Greg Santilli that discovered my gender. I hadn't really paid any attention to it before that. But that was on the old pre-MBF Storage Review board, and the details are lost in the mists of legend now. Perhaps it was Adriel. DB is...

Well, it has superb floting point performance, but what is the point of a fast FPU in a server CPU? For scientifc and engineering workstations where cost is no object, sure. But to the extent that we can trust SPEC as a guideline (which is not all that much, I daresay) it needs 8MB L2 to...

I nicked this from The Inquirer. Interesting. SPECint 2000 400 Itanium 1 800MHz 96KL2 4MB L3 458 IBM RS64 IV 750MHz 8MB L2 604 HP PA 8700 750MHz 0L2 0L3 610 Sun UltraSPARC III Cu 1.05GHz 8MB L2 648 Intel Xeon MP 1.6GHz 1MB L3 679 Compaq Alpha 21264C 1GHz 8MB L2 749 AMD Athlon XP 2100 1.667GHz...

Ahhh. Sol, I see you start to understand psychology. Sometimes it's even clearer. Psychologist: "Do you love your mother?" Subject: "Yes." Psychologist: "Ahh. So you are consumed with suppressed longing for your mother. No wonder your sex life is a mess." Subject: "But actually my sex life...

I hate to agree with Tannin, but this time he is right. Consider the absurdity of this statement: "the device has outlived its usefulness" in the context of a thread where no-one has been able to provide any other working solution short of using a different computer. That's the problem with...

My pleasure Prof. As you can see, FDR is one of my heros. Interesting to read Flagreen's point of view too. As ever, very thought provoking. Though thinking of Reagan as a good President, let alone one of the greats would require a pretty fundamental shake-up of the way that I conceptualise the...

Sigh. Oh he's hopeless this morning. I'm sorry NRG. Sometimes I just can't do anything with him.

Here is a program which lets you access NTFS volumes under DOS. That would work. Just one small problem: in the fine print of the system requirements, it says "two formatted 1.44 floppy discs". Hmmm.. I think you are stuck. There is only one thing for it, NRG. Remove the drive and flash it to...

I'm sorry about Tannin, NRG. Just ignore him. Maybe I can think of something. Under OS/2 you simply make an image file of your DOS boot disc (you can compress it if you like) and store it as a file on your hard drive. Then you boot "DOS from Drive A:" from inside of OS/2. Won't help on a 2K box...

That's beside the point. NRG is supposed to be your friend. You are supposed to help your friends out, not say rude and unhelpful things to then.

Tannin! That's a dreadul thing to say. You take that back right away!

Not tellin!

Often. Very often. I've stopped worrying about it now, I just have my little farm of machines left running with no screen switched on.

Not so, Prof. FDR, like Churchill before him, had the vision to see that the appeasers were hopelessly naieve, that Hitler and Tojo and their minor lickspittles would never stop demanding ever more, would never content themselves with any amount of conquest, and that their threat was so great...

Humans? Ohh! Sorry. Yes, that's Greg Santilli and his friend Lisa. I forgot to mention them.

But wait, there is more! Here is a picture of my very good friend Kava, fetchingly decked out in a rich red rug. (Slightly cropped to save messing up the thread.) She has a wonderful personality too. I guess she would come along and post here at Storage Forum, but she has a little difficulty...

Huh? You're kidding me, right? Clinton and Reagan? OK, you could make a case for either of these as moderately important Presidents, perhaps rank them alongside men like Eisenhower and Truman. But to rank either of them (or even both of them put together) above FDR - that's just crazy. Reagan...

Enough of these poor human being-type excuses! I see that JoJo and Simonstre are still pretending that they don't have access to a web server, the cowards. Well, I'm not shy, and I have good contacts with the Papparatzi. This is JoJo. And here is Simonstre: Hmmm... For humans, they look...

Shhhhhh!!! He'll never know if we don't tell him. Email it to me - MODERATED

Just so, Mercutio, and I speak as one who majored in social science research methods. The problem is rather like that faced by your cliched typical retailer and his advertising policy: "I know that half of my advertising budget is wasted - but which half?" Indeed, there is a great deal of...

It says I'm an Idealist NF too. Same as Tannin. This is ridiculous! We are completely different!

If Tannin lost 40lbs, he'd be a skellington!

Hmmm .... looks to me that the mystery isn't so much the July stats as the March ones. How reliable are burst.net when it comes to these numbers? If you take out March, then the numbers look entirely believable, a slow, steady growth.

No need James: redhill@redhill.net.au - it's already part of every spam list on three planets, so no harm in putting it here.:( (Tannin never reads my posts so I should be safe enough.) (Never reads his email either, so you can say anything you like!)

Cruise on over to http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage.detailed?q=10047 and you'll see that you already have more than 0.01% of the JoJo's score! Now if you want to catch him, you'll need some extra processors. Can I interest you in a slightly used Athlon XP 1600?

Jake! You too. Cool! The Athlon 2100, I presume.

We have an AMD CPU in an ECS board, Tim, and you are wondering if the chip is bad?

Flagreen.

Simonstre.

The Giver.

Groltz trying to overclock his brain with 100V AC.

It astonishes me that otherwise apparently intelligent and civilised people watch craplike this. Raiders was fun. If you call that an "action" movie, that is. Seems to me that it had a plot and some semblance of charecterisation, which I should have thought would disqualify it. But what would...

Well, either board is bad or the CPU is bad. I'll give you five to one that it's the board. Even modern CPUs fail quite rarely, and CPUs of that generation almost never fail. I've got three or four Pentium IIs in that general speed range, which anyone is welcome to, but it will be the board...

Absolutely! There are not nearly enough apes here! Besides, Andrew (Balding Ape) is a very nice guy. I think we may be related.

Email it to me, James. You can put anything you like up on the Red Hill server. Just so long as we don't tell Tannin. :wink:

Stewth! Fair dinkum, why canchuz all jus talk normal?

It would be an extraordinarily old BX board that didn't support a Celeron 300A. Hang on a tic, I'll check it on Tannin's web page. Yup. The BX debuted in April '98 (at least the 100MHz FSB P-IIs did, and that's the chipset that was the first to support them), the Celeron A came out just four...

Swap out the CPU. One or the other is kaput. Sounds very much as though the motherboard is the problem. (OK, OK, I know you probably don't have a spare CPU handy, Clocker. But having enough spare parts around the place to swap stuff around with is 90% of the diagnosis and repair battle. Do you...

The relationship is non-linear, JTR. This means you are not a geek, merely an eek.

That, Cliptin, is in the grand Australian tradition. Many an Australian Premier or Prime Minister has done the same in years gone by. For example, former Prime Minister Paul Keating promised to slow up our overheated economy with "the recession we had to have", but delivered the greatest...

My word, JTR, you sure do have beautiful ears.

Correction: bad RAM give you continuous beeps. Damed if I know what gives you dontinuous ones.

That's the RAM beep code. Your RAM is bad. Notice that it doesn't change when you remove the RAM completely. It could be that there is damage to the tracks leading to the RAM sockets, of course, but you can soon get to the root of the problem by trying combinations of different RAM and...

"Depop" = less platters than design maximum. 60GB has to be one.

Ahh, I knew I had a picture of P5-133XL lying around somewhere. This one is a bit dated - it was taken at his college graduation as I recall - but it's a pretty good likeness. Mind you, he's clean-shaven now. A shame really, as a nice coating of fur always looks good in a human, I think.

Mercutio.

Now, can we stand a glamour shot or two? Why not. This is Kristi. That was taken before I was born, of course. These days her hair has grown a little darker and she usually wears more clothes than that. Oh, and she is a bit taller. Now, seeing as we seem to be on a theme of personal...

Timwhit, of course.
