Mean ol' Logitech Marble Trackman by
Flasherly[_2_]
Finally figured, after destroying several of them, what it takes to
toughen them up.
Several months ago, I also caught one a sale for half off. I have two
prime working units.
The trackball unit has four click relay buttons, assignable with
Logitech software to goes back to mythological ancient...

question about mobo/graphics card by
Yes[_2_]
Considering that some of the graphics cards I've seen pictured these
days use two of the backplate slots to mount the card, have any
motherboard manufacturers started offering mobos that are specifically
desigend to accomodate two such cards.
When I look at those graphics cards, it just seems like...

WD hi-state = ADATA/Seagate by
Flasherly[_2_]
WD, aside, is labeling branded SSDs to color classes: a color meaning,
accordingly in keeping with a prior tactic, is to provide no info on
build assembly, short of taking it apart for chip nomenclature (colors
corresponding to an Enterprise grade are spec'd, though).
WD also tends to be...

memtest86+ 5.01 reported RAM speed not credible by
[email protected]
I was given an old HP Proliant server to fix. It only had a flat CMOS battery.
So I run memtest86+ and it says the memory is DDR3-4123!
This is a Nehalem EP generation, and only an E5506, which supported 800 speed
with ECC.
Also says CAS 19, which you would get with DDR4-4000 RAM.

Sickness strikes again by
Flasherly[_2_]
Found an interesting DAC.
https://headfonics.com/2016/12/the-adi-2-pro-by-rme/
I'm running up to a possible only a 1/18 to 3/9 sample rate of WASAPI
384Khz, and it would take an Apple to double that. Good Sol Apple
strikes again.
Problem is a spare couple of thousand dollars, so looking for it...

TOSLINK red laser S/PDIF cable fixes by
Flasherly[_2_]
Not really a fix.
I had to take apart some laser carrier cables and splitters.
Cheap stuff, so wasn't hard to figure.
The input-output laser carrier connections is a matter of 64-ths an
inch.
You can take two of those plastic covered laser carrier wires,

HDD 4T by

Not so average from a sale at $68 WD Green I saw (shipping and tax

They're averaging closer to $100. Past decent feedback, significance
in numbers seems to hold, there's the warrantee aspect.
Noticed a 4T Toshiba N300 pop up. NAS service oriented with a lot...

What happened to cheap reliable ADSL modems ? by
Shadow[_2_]
I bought 2 D-Link DSL 500B modems a while ago at $US 20,00
each.
Lightning struck, so I replaced the one that was there, but
all I can find locally are expensive "super" Wifi ADSL modems to buy
as a spare.
Any good solid reliable "simple" models still being made ?

The Power and The Horror by

Something of anomaly the XLS DriveCore technology in a Class D

At a 2-ohm SPKR load it runs from 550-1200W over the course of four
models within the same series nomenclature.
(Bridged would be 1100-2400W at 4-ohm.)
I'm running a modern 4-ohm at...
