adding parallel IDE slave with SATA primary |
|
|
Hello,
I recently purchased a new Compaq SR1616NX. It has a Serial ATA HD in it.
I would like to put my old parallel EIDE drive in as a second HD to recover
some needed files then wipe the 2nd drive clean to use as a back-up device.
The Compaq has open bays and the MB has 2 IDE connectors. IDE2 has the
optical drive and IDE1 is vacant.
I am thinking that I can set the parallel drive to slave with jumpers,
connect it to IDE1, verify that the SATA is the boot drive in the BIOS and
be good to go.
Will this work?
Which connector on the ribbon cable should I use.
Any other pitfalls I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Dan |

Fan's failing. Common problem with
crappy sleeve-bearing fans supplied as
original equipment.

It has just recently started booting to a warning that requires "F1" to

The warning is "CPU Fan Error! Press F1 to resume".
When I look in the BIOS the fan speed is shown in RED at around 1650 RPM.
I am thinking this is too low.
How can this be fixed?

Fun with Compaq Presario 6000 found in trash. |
|
|
I hauled a Compaq Presario 6000 out of a dumpster a couple of weeks ago.
Previous owner, in their haste or aggravation, neglegted to unscrew the
vga connection, they simply broke it off. Half the pins were still on
the monitor cord, the rest in the mother board. Damn, I thought I got
impatient with those things.
Open the case:
No agp slot.
250 watt PSU
1 512 mb stick of ram.
Onboard Audio
Onboard Ethernet
Plug the machine in, turn it on and the mobo posts w/o problem.
I ordered a Saphire Radeon 64 MB pci card and 1 256mb stick pc2100 ram.
Stick that in the machine, turn it on. Press F2 and change the video
from "onboard" to "PCI", after that Windows Xp starts in safe mode.
Previous owner failed to delete any of his old files.
Machine has a 120 gig hd and a 2.5 gig P4 Northwood, 400 FSB.
It's amazing how may pc's we find in the trash where I work, that the
only thing wrong is a Windows problem. People don't seem to realize the
OS is separate from the hardware. Got my self a nice little machine for
a $60 investment.
1 question:
I'd like to replace the power supply and add a second hd. Is it hard to
find a PSU that will fit in this case? I have 2 now that won't work, the
screws don't line up.

You might want to start out by getting your facts right.
When you buy a CD, you don't own the copyright. You get a license to use
the music, not ownership.
You misunderstand. I mean for music for which *I* own the copyright,
not just CDs which I have purchased.
If I pull out a microphone and start singing original lyrics and banging
my head against a piano while I do it, burn it to CD, I own the physical
CD, and I own the copyright for the recorded material,
If Sony's software interferes with my ability to manipulate content for
which I really am the legal copyright holder, then it's likely violating
a number of laws.
How would Sony's software interfere with that?
|
Sony's software is adding jitter (or some interference -- I've read it's
jitter) when you attempt to rip an audio CD digitally.
If I recorded my singing at a studio, then got home and tried to rip it,
I might be annoyed if my audio wouldn't come through cleanly.
If I tried it on a couple local PCs (all with Sony's malware) and it
sounded bad on both, I'd probably go rerecord the tracks, which would
result in additional studio fees plus my lost time.

What possible justification have you got for such a statement?
No divisional Director would risk the company brand on such a scam,
hence it's very likely this DRM decision would have been taken at the
very highest level. Therefore there's no reason to believe the firmware
in Sony badged CD players and burners won't contain specific code to
address the DRM problem either.

QUE?
Sony DVD & CD players play MP3. Whether it is by hardware or software
there is, to the general consumer, no visible difference.

Most companies outsource the low end consumer products to contract
manufacturers. They do not actually design the hardware or the
firmware. I am sure at additional cost some modification to the
firmware could be added. But the CM would charge, be assured. Not
something you want when margins on low end devices are so slim.

Currently there is reason to believe the Sony badged players
won't have "specific code", because so far, Sony has not
written any firmware. The ID string change that is made
could be made by anyone- for example you could make your
LIteon drive read that it was from Taco Bell instead of Sony
as it's only a text string replacement, not a true firmware
rewrite.
That does not preclude future firmware additions though, but
it would seem most likely they will continue with the DRM
software on the media until their hardware supplies
implement such features product-wide, on non-Sony as well as
Sony rebranded players.
Sony has also historically included different burning
software, instead of Nero there was another title that
escapes me at the moment. If the newer software prevents
burning DRM'd context and Windows (vista) does as well, that
is one hole plugged but does nothing about their greatest
concern, the MP3 P2P sharing. |

Yes.
Off the shelf rebadging is a process where very minimal, easy to make
modifcations are done to a product. Sony tasks the Contract MFG with a
set of modificaions. Each modification is then priced by the CM and
added to the unit price. The margins on burners is so small that the
only modifications you see in the product are the firmware ID string,
faceplate, packaging and documentation. Often the documentation and
packaging are handled by the OEM.
Although I have seen bare product of the consmer nature that the OEM
was doing the firmware & badging too. Rare but does occur.
The software was a specific design for a specific purpose.
