A SA-SCSI hard drive will have full-duplex communications over the one twisted pair cable that will plug into it.

By the way, the proposed hard drive mechanism is a 3.5-inch form factor hard disc drive (i.e. -- 3.5-inch form factor slow spinning, very high capacity hard drive).

Using existing platter, head, and spindle technologies, an "ultra-capacity" hard drive could be created for special applications. In this case, with a generational throwback to 4500 RPM (or even 3600 RPM), along with the use of modern high-density platters and heads, a hard drive mechanism...

The "pricey" Matrox Parhelia 256 can meet these specs -- certainly in the 2-D speed and quality department. Its 3-D speed is not cutting edge, but somewhere in the lower range of GF3. It has 3 monitor outputs-- triple-RGB, dual-DVI and TV-out. The pricing of a Parhelia 256 and Parhelia 128...

There has been various approaches taken in the past several years to perfect affordable solid-state non-volatile mass storage in the gigabyte capacity range. But, it seems nowadays that the most likely to succeed in this catagory will be polymer memory (a.k.a. -- plastic memory), only because...

Something I meant to post a couple of months ago... information Versatile Disk for Removable usage It seems that a consortium in the storage industry wants to be able to give you the ability to use removable and rewriteable Serial ATA HARD DRIVES (2.5-inch and 1.8-inch) as a means for data...

Wha...? :oops:

...would like to see a single-plug standard for common motherboard headers (led, speaker, etc) as well as usb/usb2. ...slide out mobo trays and the seperable case-to-mobo cable (Lian-Li) ...How about an extra connector for the PC speaker, so every PC could get minimal sound support without...

To some of the people that think screw-less cases are the way to go: Although this may be nice for you, others will quickly find that they are a security problem. In an environment where you have various people coming and going, some of these people may decide to rob the contents of your...

OK, I give up. What did somebody do, poop on a failed Caviar ATA and post the picture over on SR?

My brother's was about... er... 5 years old now. And, yes, his Thinker/Stinker Pad actually worked quite well otherwise. He did a lot of C++ programming with it, running OS/2. But, my brother was definitely not alone with the pointer thingamajig ruining the LCD display. I've come across...

If you're looking for the best CRT monitors -- and these aren't horribly expensive -- look no farther than the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro monitors. These come in 17-inch, 19-inch, and 22-inch sizes. These all use the same Mitsubishi picture tube that virtually all high-end hyper-expensive graphics...

No, what Time was talking about is something that you'll need to be at a normal working distance to observe. From your description, I would suspect what you noticed was something called beat frequency, which would likely be in your case the difference in the refresh rate of the monitor you...

There are a couple of things that can explain why *some* monitors don't appear to flicker; one is phosphor persistence and the other is display size. Phosphor persistence is basically how long the phosphors in a given picture tube glow when zapped by a given illuminating voltage. Most...

Did yer StinkPad get the ol' "pencil-eraser-poked-a-hole-in-the-screen" treatment from the pointer thingamajig in the middle of the keyboard? My younger brother had the LCD display in his ThinkPad ruptured 3 times and had the screen replaced each time ($). The forth time the LCD screen got...

Some of the first P- series Viewsonics were quite decent monitors, but they weren't / aren't really much better than an excellent mid-range monitor at best. What I DID like about certain GS- series Viewsonic monitors was the small footprint and (once again) quite decent visual display for...

>> They're also priced like a Porsche too. It really wasn't that expensive compared to most other monitors; US$700+ or so. Well, I actually have a near-everyday use for a portrait (page) monitor, as I do page layout work semi-regularly. If I were in the buying mood, I might buy the Samsung...

The Samsung LCD that has a rotatable screen (landscape vs. vertical page) is pretty interesting. I noticed a sticker on one that said "Designed By Porsche."

But something on the server side would be better. Something like an agent that mimics a "non-existent account" when a known spammer E-mails a particular E-mail address on said mailserver.

A killer deal here on a new LSI Logic dual-channel Wide-Ultra SCSI (SE) host bus adaptor, for only US$26 (!)... http://www.pcprogress.com/product.asp?m1=pw&pid=LSIU40SE

I recall using CMS in either IBM VM or MVS aeons ago. Otherwise, I once had a CMS (brand) SCSI hard drive; a monsterous full-height 5-1/4" 10 MB external unit connected to a Macintosh Plus. (argh)

Well, a long time ago I once owned a Yamaha FZR-750 that could do 0 ~ 60 (MPH) in 2.9 seconds.

Or maybe I just forgot to remove the "sc" :cooler:

COUGH !!! And what have you been adding to yer tea lately? Phoenix is the most stable browser in the universe and its only beta software! http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/releases.html Just to clear things up: IE is a whale, Netscrape is a pig, Mozilla is a bow-wow browser, and...

Isn't Tim Horton that guy that gets arrested by the Police regularly for carrying 11 donuts at one time???

I don't care much for the over-rated over-hyped Linux. FreeBSD is simply a superior O/S at everything except at being pretty to look at and numbers of supported devices.

A so-called RAW format can vary quite a bit as to what the data actually is. Usually a RAW camera file is simply the camera's "machine" format without any lookup table applied by the DSP -- usually just verbatim pixels (hence, the term "raw"), though it may include some text strings with...

Back a couple of years ago, when I needed to purchase several NiMH batteries for my Olympus, someone recommended Thomas Distributing (though I recall getting to their website via a different URL than thomas-distributing.com). I saw their prices and also noticed that they were out of what I...

Quite possibly so (i.e. -- fast recharging). I use a large black Rayovac recharger unit to charge all of my NiCad, NiMH, and rechargeable alkaline batteries. Its price was pretty good when I bought it 2 years ago because it came bundled with a selection of rechargeable alkaline batteries (a...

INEXPENSIVE SOLUTION: Just turn your computer around 180 degrees, so that the back is now the front.

I still use my somewhat-old (circa 1999) Olympus C2500-L, mainly becuase it has excellent low-light capability and I can use both SmartMedia and CompactFlash storage simultaneously (dual-slot).

Depending on which part of the globe you live, you can buy Rayovac 1600 NiMH batteries and/or a battery charger VERY CHEAPLY at a WalMart, making you wonder why the mail order places charge so much. http://www.rayovac.com/products/recharge/recharge.shtml

GIANT! What the hell are you doing my job for? Leave the virulent acrimony and mudslinging to me damn it! ...ya, kick U upside yo head Johnny boy!

What I always hated dealing with were the 3 year old with AK-47s. If it moved, they shot at it. Fortunately, most of the bullets would go into the ceiling because the recoil would swiftly pull the barrel upwards as they emptied the clip.

With this planned obsolescence and the price increase of the new Xeon, I believe that this new additional pin is actually a penis -- which is all part of Intel's masterplan to keep on f*cking the customer as hard and as often as possible (every 18 months). :evil:

Yes, it's definitely a 44x / 24x / 44x. iGary's must be on cough syrup, because he actually owns the ATAPI version -- which he uses at home!
