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

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

5 minutes to clean cat box... s

Yes, you nailed it, and I have plants in the tanks. Cat is going crazy right now... Some sort of white stuff, perhaps a weird algae, that the charcoal filters appeared to have helped get rid of, but, I've had to water change about 4 times to get it cleared up, and out of the filters. ALERT...

TDK, Dynex? Yes, I backed up to DVD's. Brain dead, and filling fish tanks at the same time... s

Between fish and cat, I'm really thinking we should rename the above terms. I think slave=owner, and owner=pet would be a more true meaning of the situation. :wink: I've been up since 5 am, feeding cat, and trying to clean 3 fish tanks to my satisfaction...it's now 9 something... s

The copies usually play about 95% in the Sony DVD recorder. I've also used a cleaner on all concerned. s

OK: Using the Sony, I've made backups of our most frequently used DVD's, in the hopes that we won't scratch, or destroy, my legally licensed originals. Problem is, some of them won't finish playing, perhaps due to compression? Even though I'm using CD-R's, which is what I thought the original...

:lol: I saw the topic, since I've had the 'other mono' and was concerned for you... s :mrgrn:

Hi I'm wondering what are the best, and most efficent DVD ripping software? What's the most efficent player? Currently using DVD Shrink, and Media Player Classic. Any suggestions? Processor usage is a bit high... s

OH, by the way, until my current investment in 68 pin Cheetahs wear out, I'm not to angry about picking the wrong case. Besides, the guy gave it to me for cheaper then 170, since it had been around for a long time, and sans power supply. s

Thanks: (Greg remembers all those shows of Flipper, with underwater torches cutting bars and stuff... Lights up torch, and cuts out the back of the case, so he can put an SCA box in the back, or two...;-) Looks like I bought the wrong case. Still, for the price, I can either butcher mine, or...

Hi Does anyone have a link to what the different services are for XP, or a database to search for third party stuff, so I can identify stuff that shouldn't be running? Thanks GS

Weird: The YY0400 has only ten drive bays, 12 including floppies. Mine, with two SCA boxes, would actually have 18... s

Well, the box was 170 bucks, with no power supply. Perhaps I have the wrong link. I just looked at the features and they are pretty close. I'll look at the other but it's the cube, and I don't see the objection to size, it's wide, but short. s

Cube Server Case - YY-0221 Mini Server Case for AT/ATX motherboard s

http://yycase.com/ R2D2 is not that big. In fact, she fits comfortably under my desk, no problems. s

The box is very compact. It has front mounted, room for two SCA racks, but only a floppy, and zip disk above it. If you put boxes in the back storage area, they would be very difficult to assess, due to limited room, I think. Right now, the only Raid adapter in my future might be the dual...

I don't think your average computer buyer is going to go for raid 0, and, so far, Raid 0 solutions for ide haven't been worth much, due to interface, cards, and drive speeds, so why recommend something that doesn't really increase speed, as it should? Plus, IDE and SATA are consumer priced...

Macs are good for email. I'm sick of all this stuff, and I don't open questionable attachments. I use Eudora, and, I'm getting sick of Bagel this and Bagel that... Trend has worked well for me, and, after going through Cnet looking for anti-virus, and firewall stuff, Trend is the ONLY one...

Not yet. I just reset the motherboard settings to auto, hoping that is what's doing it, since one of the two settings is what it's defaulting to, PIO 4. Perhaps if I leave it on auto, it will still go to DMA 5, or whatever. I've weeded out offensive startup items, and enabled shuting down a...

Typing this on my mac. Apparently the Maxtor is constantly defaulting to PIO mode, and I don't know why. Just shut it down, did the delete, and reinstall, etc. It has a premium cable, and it's master on Channel 1.\ s

Opened the window. My cat likes to go up the screen, since she knocked it out, once, and I had to chase her. I've got a water bottle, with squirt top. I've only had to use it a couple times. I start to pick it up, and she runs from the window. At a distance of 4 meters, she swats down the...

Now you wonder why I don't like IDE? I'm cursed I tell you :excl: Cursed :excl: s

Yes, there was. For some reason, it defaulted back to PIO mode. So, delete Primary IDE channel, reinstall, and we are back at Ultra DMA 5 we'll see how long that lasts... s

Minor update. Figured out how to burn DVD's from disk images. I originally used DVD Shrink, and then burn with Roxxio. Since I was sort of happy with the Maxtor, and it had lots of storage, I figured I'd copy the image to the maxtor. I did, and it took a long time. Then I burned from it, and...

Other countries TV adds are just beyond funny compared to ours... s

The point of posting the cat parody, on rap music, and overbreeding, was and is, that rap music resembles, and gives those same messages to people. Breed, overpopulate, with no responsibility, with anyone that comes along, and that's cool, regardless of what happens to your children. That...

550 Watts? s

Jojo: Explain! s

Good reasons. In that case, go for the dual Asus Xeon boards, and unload later, or, add another processor? My experience has been Xeons tend to do business functions way better then other cpus do, Athlons, in particular... s
