  1. You say you didn't get a semaphore time out with ALi Rev. 1a m5621 on wnaspi32 with ImgBurn? I have not tested my drive with ImgBurn yet. I was getting semaphore time out with another certain app most unfortunately lost forever to the history of time with ALi M5621 A1 0348 TH05 XHG2QK00000I to be precise.
  2. My enclosure doesn't even have a top anymore. It's just the bottom tray and the board at the back with the IDE to USB bridge chip, power in, etc. That way, I can easily slip in drives as needed for testing, temporary HD storage, etc.
  3. BTW, now, I've heard he disappears at night to go out stalking the gal he's been trying to woo lately.
  4. What about version 6, though? Sorry, just had to be a smart
  5. Do they make a universal firmware reading/flashing utility? I know I have Flashfix on hand to flash the LiteOn/JLMS 166s DVD-ROM to unofficial firmware. Will basically send any firmware file to the drive, even if it's another drive's.
  6. Ah, the real thing corny's been up to: THE CORNULATOR! http://www.gm.com/company/onlygm/livegreen...r=1&carNumber=1
  7. I don't take scans results seriously. No one has YET to tell me what to look for in them, so, all those graphs and values don't mean anything to me. As for Ritek vs. Ricoh, it's all the same. Both come from Ricoh, and, Ricoh has been more than willing, in the past, to use returned discs rebranded. polo; when it says unsupported, what is saying unsupported? Explorer? ImgBurn? Plus, have you tried rewritables? I've yet to try a burn, but, I can get a DVD-RW that was previously burned to read under 2.TG.
  8. Ritek 16x sounds good. I've been using RITEKF1 for less important, temporary, etc. backups and some genuine Sony 8x DVD-R's I picked up last year as my long term storage right now.
  9. I would have had them arrested and deloused.
  10. Now, all we need is Wang Tang Fangdang and Nick Nakpadiwak, and we'll be all set!
  11. Well, dang! It's Dang! Ding will be pleased.
  12. Haven't had a problem with the 2.TB. Installed 2.TG last night, though haven't had a chance to test a burn yet.
  13. Who's dang?
  14. You're it!
  15. Or... we could go the opposite end of the spectrum and claim the dog is... no, maybe... even I'd better not...
  16. Or trying to keep from laughing. "He- he's a total wanker!"
  17. Who?
  18. That was corny!
  19. Yeah, plus, I can bet it has wonderful rootkits, Genuine Checks, and Microsoft demos.
  20. Yeah, try it out and see. I cannot fathom the logical scientific reasoning here that works. Why the radio? If the cell phones were putting out enough power to cook an egg, it would also fry anyone who passed within the field on the street. More importantly, WHY do it? It's just easier to use a stove or microwave.
  21. Notice the brown dog appears to be trying to hide its face in shame?
  22. Looks like 2.TG is the same as 2.TB except for some homemade write strategies. So, they technically have the same "date."
  23. Installed the latest from the link and it seems fine. You sure that 2TB is the latest? 2TG looks like it is. It's not only the larger value but, the date listed on the 2TB like is February 2005, and TG is July 2005. That list appears to be entirely hapharzardly made, not in order according to age.

    Size matters

    Take a look at this image to see the difference between a 1950's computer and today's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Univac-model.jpg To note the scale, notice the two office desks and chairs on ball casters on the left. To orient you about the location of hardware, these are my best guesses. Far left, bottom: "modem" output, modem processor, tape I/O for "modem. The large block unit next to that: CPU. Next to that, L shaped bank of magetic tape I/O reels. In front of that: keyboard. To the side of the keyboard: "monitor," a small printer that returned the input the user put in, as they entered it, and the results from the processor. Large bank in the upper left: RAM. Next to that: memory controller. Center of room: impact printer for printing out program results, dumps, forms outputs like checks, etc. Behind that: printer controller. Why there's a reel to reel next to that, no idea. Maybe just because that's the only space for it? Or why there's another reel to reel on the right or what that is next to it (My guess is it's the reel to reel's controller.) are also beyond me.
  25. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4...manShepherd.jpg Bet the Topic made you look! Anyway, the file name should have given you a hint. I decided to remove it as an image from the post because of the size scrolling off the side.
