What, the late Romantic period? I liked the music from closer to the turn of the (20th) century a little more (more like about 90 ~ 120 years ago).

Video-on-demand has been around for a while, but what people really want is access to a virtually unlimited television and movie "database" that will allow them to look at nearly anything that the copyright owners will allow, such as a particular episode of The Untouchables from 1959 or maybe a...

Yoikes. It's a parallel port floppy. It requires a DOS driver to function, meaning that you can't use it as a bootable floppy drive. The "desktop computer version" of these contraptions normally used an external power supply. Back in the late 1980s and early '90s, these nightmares...

Looks like the recent eye-popping 14-drive Supermicro SC932T-R760 chassis (convertible between 3-U rack / pedestal configurations) has become available. That long drive cage and the 760-watt triple redundant power supply help push the price up to an equally eye-popping US$850. :o...

An *old* external floppy drive will have its own AC-to-DC power supply. But then again, you may think something made in the year 2000 is "old." If this is the case, are you talking about a PCMCIA external floppy drive, or a 90's external SCSI floppy drive? The PCMCIA floppy drive will be...

I've ran into the occasional "older" conventional floppy drive that was not compatible with modern high-speed computers. However, I've used 10, 12, and 15 year old floppy drives on recent-vintage P4 systems and they worked flawlessly (PS: the 15 year old floppy drive was a 5-¼ inch drive that...

Wasn't Eric also known as "E.B.B.?"

I believe the whole of Arizona also does not observe Daylight Saving Time (note that I said Saving, not Savings). And, to make things a LOT more complicated than they ever needed to be, I believe Panama and a few island nations out in the Pacific Ocean bump their official local times by + or...

No. Please don't bring back "JEHH" :lol:

My prediction on this has been that the technology used in mass produced Solid State Drives will be based on polymer memory (a.k.a. -- plastic memory). Actually, it might have some fast cache / buffer RAM much like today's hard drives do, but the actual working storage medium will be...

...multi-pathing for one (finally!), so that you can do load balancing and failover (high availability). iSCSI will be fully native in Longhorn: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid5_gci1070615,00.html?track=NL-52&ad=508286USCA

Here's one for the abecedarians out there: ...a point close to the outer track is moving at roughly 48 miles per hour. ...But that's not the most amazing part. Each hard drive consists of one or more platters, called the substrate...

Piyono: Are you aware that any modern version of OSX can read data from an NTFS-formtatted hard drive? Note that this is READ, not write data to an NTFS-formatted hard drive.

If you have a better avatar, post it (or them). Nothing rude of course.

I have a Supermicro power supply (non-redundant unit) that has 3 sets of mobo power connectors -- 24-pin, 8-pin, and 4-pin power connnectors. http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/pws/

Mubs, you need an avatar. Here are 4 possibilities:

At one time or another Serv-U has been -- it's been a neck-to-neck race between Serv-U and WFTPd. I thought about mentioning Serv-U earlier, so I guess I will now. I immediately quit using Serv-U several years ago when they decided to semi-secretly add a "phone home" capability in (then)...

Oops! Forgot to mention that the encrypted login capability only exists in the "Pro" product. WFTPD Pro Server - single license US$130 WFTPD Server - single license US$35 In either case, they are definitely better than having to deal with the semi-lousy FTP server that is built into IIS.

If you are talking Windows, the most popular aftermarket FTP server, which has SSL encrypted log-in capability -- or the old school clear text login, is: http://www.wftpd.com/ If you are interested in using SSL encrypted login capability, your best choice for an FTP client is WS FTP Pro.

I got distracted here earlier and forgot to comment on the need for a second microprocessor, as well as my own 2-cents-worth of advice on power supplies. Second processor recommendations tend to be more than a bit over inflated. Modern mid-speed A32, A64, or hyper-threaded P4 all provide...

A character in Shakespeare's Hamlet? (or was that Ophelia)

As you describe it, quite likely NOT NEEDED. A modern desktop mobo and a namebrand pedigree RAM of a known quality for desktop computers is quite sufficient for the task. I've specified such hardware for servers that were considered to be non-critical and were predicted to experience...

LSI Logic Achieves Industry's First Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Windows Qualification ...is the first to qualify a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) component, a PCI-X to 4-port SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) based on the LSISAS1064 controller, for Microsoft's "Designed for Windows Server 2003" logo (...

Lian-Li has a hot-swap drive bay that also has an integrated ATA133-to-SATA bridge chip in the drive bay. In essence, you install your parallel ATA hard drive into a hot-swap drive bay that utilises a SATA channel.

I think that's been the general consensus: FREE (as in, cover yer ar$e).

Being that the ship was the HMAS Ballarat, the captain was likely an escaped simian.

I've never used an Adaptec 21010S. The last Adaptec RAID I used was the old ARO-1130U2 in workstation setups. The ARO-1130U2 is a zero-slot RAID processor used in various brands of mobos that were based around the i440BX and i440GX chipset. It worked well for what it was during its era. As...

Correcto mundo. The SCA drive rack will auto-assign SCSI IDs in one of the two ranges that you set (low IDs versus high IDs). All drives will need to be jumper free, though, or you will "add" to the jumper setup that the SCA drive rack has assigned (e.g. -- 0001 jumper + 0010 SCA...

Yikes. Isn't this some crap from U2.

This is a common problem with Nero and other aftermarket CD/DVD authoring applications. The problem is a conflict between the default Windows optical writer drivers and Nero optical writer drivers. The solution (with Nero) is to run Nero Driver Cleaner. You will see a dialogue box after you...

Give the white tail deer all those excess guns from Iraq. They'll fix the problem.

Believe only one of the following paragraphs: It’s mainly a question of morality. Scuzzy is always going to be odd because it was simply meant to be that way. Scuzzy is also full of bad sectors and it has many mysterious zones. ATA (also called ATAboy) is always available in nice even...

TRIVIA QUESTION: Who was this year's US Presidential candidate residing from Houston, Texas. This shouldn't be too hard (or is it?). Hint: His last name has 4 letters. :lol:

As long as it isn't AOL'd, I don't mind it if DVD-RAM development has been EOL'd. It's a mature product with a good track record. If one looks long enough, one of these units can be had for US$229. For what I need, DVD-RAM beats the pants off of DVD±R (or DVD±RW). Besides, this Panasonic...

Nadir didn't make it on the ballot in Texas this time around either -- the democrats made sure of that with charges of petition signing fraud back in September. Nadir had a lawsuit going here for a while, but it fizzled. I don't even know why the Republicans nominated him. The guy was a...

If I were a big television watcher (I'm not by a long shot), I would probably prefer a "non-tape" video recorder based on a hard drive. However, I've been noticing a DVD-RAM-based recorder from Panasonic in recent times that could looks as if it could handily do the job of both a DVD-R and...

Well now, there WAS a rather persistent rumour of a 500 GB Seagate ATA (SATA / PATA) for a few months before the "400 GB" Seagate announcement back in June. If you will now switch your brain into an imaginary Non Disclosure Agreement mode of thinking: I suspect there could have easily been a...
