Ugh. Don't discount the possibility of it coming in the some other connector. Serial, usb, ethernet, modem (heh). > I sent the dead board back, supposed to be getting a > replacement for it, so I will try to get the machine running > again on that board, but I would really like to get that new > faster board working. Any suggestions? VirtualBox. I am forced to run a bunch of AudioVideo control programs that are MS Win only. I have been functioning without a MS Win boot for more than a year and a half. So far it's working perfectly. MS Win sees various Linux directories as network drives (via Samba) on a "host only" network. (no connection to any physical connector). I also use USB, serial, and to connect to various hardware - all working fine. VMware is another option, but its not quite open source and I had trouble getting it to work with Debian Lenny (5). -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
