'Conviction (1)'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
My first job that involved computer programming was on a Compaq XT clone of this type. DOS 2.something, which gave us the ability to save files using a directory structure.
Hee. I used to run my BBS off of one of those. DOS 3.something, though.
I'm now missing the days of messing with DIP switches.
You had a BBS? How cool. Have you submitted it to here?

I just looked at the San Diego section of that list. So many boards I remember. I ran a board that was part of the CMS system in the middle 80's. Must have been 1987 or 88 for when CMS: The Outpost was running.
I don't even remember what my number was (though I think it's available in an online archive somewhere). Lot of names I recall on the local section, though.
Have new computer. Can post from home again.
I might be looking for an external hard drive and searching through the thread, I found a post by ND: NoiseDesign "Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?" Jan 13, 2005 6:27:42 pm PST
That page isn't showing anything. Can you name the hard drives you were talking about?
Has anyone running OS X made an iPhoto book? And if so, what did you think of the quality?
To tommyrot, the specs on the workable ancient laptops about my house:
the luggable, NEC PowerMate Plus:
80286
DOS 6.22
109 meg HD
according to the MEM command, 639K memory
No information on how old it is, the last time a volume was created on it was 1996, I believe.
2nd, Zenith Data Systems Z*note 325L
the earliest inventory sticker says 1993
once ran Win3.1
386, I think
DOS 6.20
121 meg HD
according to MEM command, 655,360 mem
I came home from vacation to find the main TiVo , a Series 2, dead. When you power it on, the LEDs turn yellow/orange, but nothing is output on video.
From what I can find at Weaknees, the culprit is probably the power supply. Before I order the non-refundable supply, is there any way to verify whether it's the power supply or the motherboard that died?
Ooh. I look forward to the answers to both Betsy and Teppy's questions. Also, Betsy, if one determined the cause, where would one order a new powersupply from, and roughly how much would it be?
