installed, and when I try to reinstall them (from C:\Win\inf\usb.inf) I
get an error message saying that "The installation failed because a
function driver was not...

PCI-based intelligent power strip for IP addressability? by
Dan Stromberg
Is there such a thing as a PCI card that you can plug into an old,
cast-off x86 box, to control 1 or more 110 Volt US power connections, to

Perhaps better still, does anyone have a "do it...

I have a Logitech wheel mouse (ball, not optical) connected
to a computer on which there is little need of a mouse.
Therefore, the mouse in a place where it is rarely touched.

Detecting IDE problems by
sol
I recently took my computer apart to clean out the dust. After
rebuilding it the same way that I had had before and rebooting, it gets
to 'Detecting IDE Devices' and hangs. The system boots perfectly if I
take out the HD (Samsung 1604N, less than a year old). I've got
everything on a Shuttle...

header.
This item (http://www.directron.com/usbfemaleada.html) has the correct plug,
but it's a rear connector and is not long enough to reach to the front of
the case. Even a rear connector with a long (40cm+) cable would...

I added a floppy drive to my system tonight, and now the whole thing

install OS in 30GB versus in 80GB by
[email protected]
If the hard disk capacity is 80GB, should we partition into multiple
partitions before installing the OS. Let's say 30GB is good enough. For
example, I can partition into 30,30,20, and only install the OS in
30GB, rather than just install the OS in 80GB.
The reason I ask because I wonder it will...
