I've got a bunch. PM me.

Done, thanks!

I saw this on the exalant LGR video the other day.

Oh, Iomega was the best! I remember all the hype when I first bought ZIP100 Atapi for my system. Having 100mb diskette felt "unreal", and being able to record/write your own content on a removable media. Obviously, I didn't have a CD-RW drive back then and USB flash memory was still just a movie prop from Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Voyager (isolinear chips, I strongly believe that it inspired modern-day thumb drives as we all know & use nowdays)

Yeah it did! And the IDE version of the drive was easily the fastest. Bootable too! With a ZIP250 IDE you could install DOS/Windows3.11/95/98 to it and have a totally portable OS install. It was sweet!

Star Trek inspired or flat out invented a lot of things. The Tablet for example..

Funny you should mention Star Trek , a friend of mine said the same thing as you the other day.We were talking about how many of the origanal actors were still with us ,because one of them died the other day.

I have noticed my CMOS Battery needs to be changed , it was playing up for a few weeks now.Is it worth taking one out of another of my PC,s which is keeping the time and date or should i just get a new one?.This is the first PC that one of them had gone wrong.It is saying monday .April 02 . But In the settings it said May 2019?

 

[lexluthermiester]

or should i just get a new one

This. You can go to just about any store that sells batteries and find 2032 types for cheap.

 

[dorsetknob]

£1 spent at Poundland gets you
4 x 2032 (200mah) + 2 x 2025 (150mah) + 2 x 2016 (70mah) all on one card
Brand = Grundig
Note Other Brands may be available

After a time it does go back to the right time and date

Thanks i will look in there,4 for a pound wow But are they any good.Mind you worth a try at one pound.Some years back i bought a mouse in there it lasted for a couple of years.I bought another one after that one packed up ,it only lasted about a month.Can you guys help mr on another. subject i put on here about
AsMedia 106x PCIe-Sata Controller keeps coming up before i can boot
Disable Hot Swap AsMedia 106x PCIe-Sata Controller it keeps coming up

I put this in my PC
pci-e to SATA 3.0 Internal 6Gbps Ports Disk Expansion Card From the videos on youtube it seems a simple thing to do. This guy has no problem putting it in a dell 3020 SSF ,why am i having all these problems putting one in a 3020 mt?

It is calling it *SCSI and Raid controller?SMART Supported? 420 ACHI pci e. gen2?
Someone else putting one in with no problems

Yes, it did... Touch screen panels & operating system (in Star Trek referred to as LCARS). Among many others, such as the sliding (automated) doors, holograms & holographic projections, heck even Google glasses!

According to some researches, the shields are not that far-fetched either ... and the Warp drive is actually plausible & would work (in respect to the laws of physics) but would require too much energy, which (at this point in time) cannot be artificially generated.

Oh ... may I ask which one? I used to follow ST in great lengths, but ever since 2020 I kinda gave it up due to personal reasons. I even had the opportunity to talk to some of the cast (not in person, however) ... and managed to piss off Brent Spiner (lt. commander Data). But that's a whole other story, for some other occasion

The flip phone.

Yup! Motorola willingly admitted how their "flip" model (razr?!) was inspired by the original Star Trek communication device!

How dare you overload his emotion chip!!!!

Anyway, I just uploaded a vid of a run from last February of a session I did with one of my 939 setups on chilled, taking on and out a couple of Ln2 subs in the process.
BTW it may say "Video Unavailable" but pay that no mind, it's available as long as the link itself is available. Also know the entire vid is a little over 2 hours long but you get to see the entire process of my tweaking and tuning along the way and I do apologize for the less than desirable vid quality - Not alot I can do about that with my current recording equipment and will need to work on that part of it.
Enjoy.

Right?! For the guy who spent most of his career playing emotionless android, he sure had a short fuse! Anyhow, we worked it out. I took advantage of MySpace (at the time) & messaged him in private, to settle the score. He primarily misunderstood me & my point of view and I apparently misunderstood & underestimated him. So it all worked out in the end, I guess.

Anyhow, among several other Trek Stars which I only met for a short while & exchanged few words (Rene Auberjonois, Terry Farrell, Jeri Ryan, Rod Roddenberry) I also had the opportunity to meet Manu Intiraymi ... an actor who played the oldest borg "kid", Icheb on Voyager. Despite being odd, he seemed like a really cool guy, who enjoys talking to his fans & listens to what they have to say. Anyway, enough about Star Trek ... I'm already waaay off-topic here

This. You can go to just about any store that sells batteries and find 2032 types for cheap.

I have sent you a question about
Asmedia 106x SATA Controller preventing boot
S.M.A.R.T. supported
Using PCIe Gen 2 x2
Can't find any device
I bought a new keyboard because .i thought my battery one had stopped working,because the batteries were charged according to my charger .But i thoight i would see if it would work after usring the new one that has F1 and F11 on the same key? The F2 and the F12 on the same key?I took the Pcie card out and the new keyboard was still showing *Settings* nothing else.My old Keyboard works with all the other settongs you normaly get.I piy the Pcie card back in and got all that stuff about Asmedia 106x.I will try the Pcie card in another slot ,but not very hopefull .That new keyboard is cjeap and nasty. I will have to send it back ,and it looks like the Pcie card to thats going to be a pain as it is from China.Unless anyone on here can sort all this
Asmedia stuff out. It is still showing it as
SCSI and Raid controllers
Asmedia 106 x Sata controllers.
Why do they sell stuff that does not work how it should There are so many people wiyj yjr same problem as me with this,The time is still wrong ,could that be part of the problem?it says May 2019?
Even on this kytboard F2 goes onto prepaoring to go into setup then straihjy into *Settings * only. 438.
437 Asmedta It is no good you likeing it Lex ,i want an answer from someone on here.

I am checking a SD card i got from eBay , with H2testw it has been going for will over an hour.
I never used to check them until they started saying a lot of them on eBay and even Amazon were fake on youtube

I know this is not a dedicated OC thread, but I still would like to share a personal achievement.

I finally hit the sub 30 second PYPrime with DDR2 and on my beloved EP45-Extreme. On ambient cooling still.

OsmiumOC`s 29 sec 998 ms score: PYPrime - 2b with BenchMate with aDDR2 SDRAM

The DDR2 SDRAM @ 667.2MHzscores getScoreFormatted in the PYPrime - 2b with BenchMate benchmark. OsmiumOCranks #1863 worldwide and #6 in the hardware class. Find out more at HWBOT.

hwbot.org

This took me some time, I had to push a few limits. But I can actually confirm some of the bold marketing from Gigabyte:

Yes, indeed DDR2 1333+ is very much possible for this board. Funny tho that they included that in the marketing. I believe there are only a few DDR2 kits that can reasonably run this speed. It is more of a memory limit than a board limit.

But the trick is finding DDR2 DIMMs that can do 1333 without crap timings and redonkulous RAM voltage...

He is a lucky guy to get all that stuff for free. As if he has not got enough stuff as it is.

Heh, not exactly 98 I'm going to be running on here.

I'm planning on seeing which CPU runs 11 faster. I'll upgrade the rest of the parts eventually.

So far the trident is about the worst GPU I've ever used. It doesn't even produce a good VGA signal. Text in the bios is fuzzy and shaky.

Windows 7 looks wonderful.

 

[QuietBob]

This is 8-bit color depth, try bumping it in the monitor tab. If your video card has 2 MB, it should be able to output 768p in 16-bit.

rebuilding my X58 to my original config and going to use the EK Supreme HF but found these in the water cooling stash... a few Danger Den

You can overclock that 347 to the moon with a decent mobo

 

[RyzenMaster.sys]

I cannot get it to install 11 even with these requirements bypassed. Any ideas.

And yes, it is monochrome. 11 installer doesn't even have color with this gpu. The purple background is black with some scrolling pattern here.

I've tried 512+256mb and 1gb and it won't work.

256mb won't even open the installer.

Don't know if anyone in this thread would be interested in playing one of the Unreal Tournament versions, but I started a thread regarding the possibility of starting a server:

TPU Unreal Tournament Server?????

EDIT: April 16, 2022: Rented a UT2004 server for a month to test it out!!! It is a public server. Name on the server is: TPU-UT2004 IP address is: 108.61.104.100 You can add that IP address in your favorites within the game to make it easier to find. It has been a ton of years since...
