Figured it out. I had to disable the host adaptor bios on the adaptec card, so the computer goes to the next bootable scsi card, the atto. The other alternative is to play musical cards, in the different pci slots. s

Having fits. I've got an UW adaptec 2940 card, and I'm trying to connect my external raid box to my pc. It was a mac box. When I boot, it says it's booting off the ATTO card, but, it's changing my hard drive ID from C to D. Can't figure out why. I've moved the scsi ID for the 2940 to 15...

I've thought about that. First off, it has only 3 pci slots. USB takes one, Scsi UW the other, and Voodoo 5500 for the last one. The voodoo has no drivers under OS X, and, from what I can gather, niether does any old scsi card avaliable. So, if I upgrade to OS X, I have to pull the Scsi...

This is,IIRC, what Tannin said as well, and why I'm reluctant to switch cards. Jtr1962: What kind of hard drive are you using? I'm thinking the Powerlead might be a real good idea for our Dell Dimension 400 mhz, P2. I'm using a Quantum LM in it. Ideas? gs

ROFL! More like take the entire end off the bottle. s

WHY, if you have a MSFT defrager in 2000, would you ever put anything from symantec on your computer? They pull the same crap with macs. Give them no credit, they learned it from MSFT, who makes MSFT Office incompatible with core extensions, like OTransport, in the mac os... s If you steal...

I've been thinking about this over night. The new macs may devalue my mac even more, or, they might come out with another upgrade, faster then the current 1 ghz for 300 dollars upgrade. Problem with macs is everytime you look at something like that, and the amount of speed it really increases...

Thanks, all. I always wonder with these great advancements, if I'm even going to notice. I noticed the 1.4 athlon, from the PII 400 mhz. Likewise the 4 X X 15's make a huge difference, as does 512 mb of ram. On the PII 400 mhz I bought a Kyro II 64 mb card to replace the 16 mb TNT, and that...

Hi Is it really worth replacing my 5500? I don't do much but internet, some video, trailers, etc. email, some Quake 3, but not much, and lots of text and graphics. I'm after either a really noticeable improvement in graphics quality on this Hitachi 802 21 inch, in text, or a great increase in...

Hi I've been watching ebay on G3, 333mhz towers, and for the amount of money people pay, it's almost not worth selling. I never use the thing, except if I'm teaching school. Then, since schools use mostly macs, the old os, old little programs, etc. and the Lombard, make a very nice...

HP might have a really good position on this one. If MSFT refuses to sell them Windows lic, as they did in the past, if you offer another os, since they have been ruled an illegal monopoly, their further abuse of that position, restraining trade, and the development of other, competing os, is...

Mercutio: First my Queen(Al Capone the cat, yes, she is a girl) is making this hard to type. She want attention. Few legal issues that come to mind with Windows and OEM versions. One could argue a number of issues. Since MSFT has a monopoly, by law, and it's nearly impossible to find a...

Backing up to IDE drives...Yuck!! Greg's spine tingles, and hair stands on end, or is that the cat...???? s

Stopped by. Work is over for summer school this week, and trying to find a position for the following year, among other things. s

I'm sorry to hear about your pet as well. I suggest you buy another cat, or animal, as quickly as possible. The freshness of a young animal dispells the grief and horror of death, and refocuses you on the beauty, and wonder of renewed life. My upstair neighbor just lost his 20 year companion...

So did I, Gary. Problem was, in Santa Cruz, without a leash, it was either low tide, or no surfboard, if you got caught inside, or fell off. Waves were way to good not to use a leash...at high tide. Fish actually worked well, and I made a substantial income polishing fish, to send to Florida. s

You have to used to it, and pretty flexible. Ricky Gregg, when he was about 50, cracked a vertebrae in his neck from a whiplash at Wiamea Bay. Plus, you have to be able to hold your breath. Most people's worst wipeouts come at Sunset Beach. Over 8 feet, any wipeout can plant you on the reef...

Explorer: You opened a can of worms, and, I'm in a mood to remember. I grew up in Manhatten Beach, from 2 till 11. Went to NKalifornia, and, at 18 moved to SC. Suffice to say, I surfed, and chased big waves. In 1984 I moved to Oahu for 10 years. When I arrived, no waves until the beggining...

ROFL!! I tried... Great line.. s

Lately she seems obsessed with getting outside, but when I take her outside, she gets next to me, and hides, or wants to be picked up. She likes to sit in front of the window, and watch the golfers... s

Let's see. Al has knocked over modem, router, and hub. She also disconnected my computer from it's power supply, and, has turned off electrical stuff by stepping on the power strips on off with regularity. Tea, is she ever going to get over this stage??? s

Did I miss something? PW: Believe me, this is much to do about nothing. You are not missing anything, and we will miss you. Moderator usually implies someone who moderates, trys to stop conflict, and gets the parties talking to each other. Leaving in a puff is not a good indication that...

Auto cars, run on Windows 95-98 gives new meaning to the term "system crash".. s :mrgrn:

11-12 weeks at this point. She gets into everything, and is very demanding of attention. If I'm on the computer, she jumps up, and lays down on top of it until I get done, or, sticks her nose over, and jumps onto the keyboard while I'm typing. She climbs from ground to ceiling on screen...

Thanks to Prof Wizard, we have pics of Alice Capone at: http://www.mihailidis.com/alice1.jpg http://www.mihailidis.com/alice2.jpg http://www.mihailidis.com/alice3.jpg GS

Nice to hear about Sebastian Inlet. Just changed any inclination to move to Florida :wink: . We have our own version of crazy stuff. Fort Point, a surf spot under the Golden Gate Bridge, is right in the food chain. The currents go in and out of the gate at up to 8-9 miles an hour...

Thanks Prof Wizard. What size and format would you like the pics? s

Prof Wizard. To what address, and how do I send them? With the email system here, I can't figure out how to add an attachment...lame, I know. Pradeep: I know it's horrible the way they take away freedoms based on a case of bad facts. Bad facts make for bad law. We currently have a...

NORWAY rats? Hmmmm. That brings to mind me shooting wharf Rats, in Capitola, with a 22lr rifle. 8 inches of rat with 22 shorts, out of a 22 inch barrel. REAL rats require a REAL rifle: 375 H&H at least. I may trade in for a 458 Lott/ACkley for the task... s

Anyone want to host the pics? I have em. s

Legally Blonde 2. I liked the first movie, but the second makes the character look like a complete idiot, and, is a blatant rehash of the first. Did the script writers have like 12 hours to write the script? THIS MOVIE REALLY SUCKS. S PS A REAL INSULT to bright, pretty women that manage to...

Splash!!! An authority on sharks. Dolphins can kill sharks by ramming them in the gills, though Great White Sharks are a bit much to attack. My personal preference for protection are whales. Amazing what an angry grey, or right whale can do to get the area cleaned out. One day, surfing...

ROFL!! Second amendment right to bear turtles??? s

.Net However, USUALLY not in cold water. Bull sharks are a wide spread, very dangerous shark. Some famous shark guy was saying many attacks in Africa are bull shark attacks, but, they get pinned on Great Whites. Around here, Great Whites do do the majority of attacking, mainly on...

Hi I need to start selling stuff on Ebay. Does anyone have any general tricks on minimizing the fees they charge, without loosing money in other ways? What general guidelines do you use for posting low cost items, vs. high cost items? Thanks GS

We don't have a spieces that looks like that on the west coast. Bull Sharks, which the dorsal fin Kind of resembles, are on the east coast, not Malibu. Show me a Pacific Coast shark that resembles that one, and I'll sort of buy it. The other reason I don't buy it is the sharks I've watched...

Malibu? Sorry guys, but that really, REALLY, looks like a dolphin, but, the more I look at it, the weirder the dorsal fin looks, and the more I think it looks like a fake picture. I don't know of a single spieces of shark with such a dorsal fin. It looks like a dolphin dorsal fin, yet the...

Real question for me is: How expensive is the MSFT OS going to be in 64 bit, and will it run on the Athlon Opertron? In other words, is there going to be some factor that makes the entire question so expensive, much like duals/mobo have been for a while, that you are just financially wiser to...

Kingwin? Link? Thanks M s

I agree. Bruce had us rolling as well. s

Mercutio:(that name keeps reminding me that I was once named Tybalt) "Tis niether so large as,..." Anyway, what have you found that is 'cold' swapable, that you would use in a computer you are building? S

Thanks. So far seamless, and seems a bit snappier. s

"I feel you pain." :mrgrn: Last time I was in the valley, one shop had a swapable ide drive setup for 10 bucks, and a few bucks for each additional caddy. Seems to me this, or a firewire solution is ideal for such situations. Anyone using one? s
