This is presumably something not being pushed by Microsoft, but by
IT managers who want to lock down their systems, upon first read
of this newspost. Microsoft, of course, will register. One would
hope RedHat will, too.
From everything I have read, I seriously doubt this gives *any* benefit
whatsoever to the computer user. It is an anti-piracy scheme gone to
far, and I'd be no more for this sort of thing then I would be for a PSN
in my CPU. I, like some others who have posted in here (well
comp.os.linux.advocacy specifically...I know it is a cross post) several
threads up would not like to see this thing, and would rather use
products that do *not* support it for computers which I use.
Yes, I've heard that MS isn't pushing it (they are set against it,
because of certain compatibility probs that can result...and a
programmers HD on their development system is not going to necessarily
be the same as a users)...but it rather sounds like it is the content
providers (people like the RIAA as an example) who would want this sorta
scheme over people's HDs.

I have two computers at home, a 400MHz PII running Mandrake 6.0 and
(shudder) occasionally Windows 98, and a 400MHz BlueWhite G3
Macintosh, usually running MacOS but occasionally running LinuxPPC or
YellowDog Linux.
I'd like to use a single keyboard and monitor. It's easy to switch
the MONITOR, but switching the KEYBOARD is usually a hassle between a
Mac and a PC.
With Pre-USB, it would be impossible, as PC's use the PS/2-type
connector or the older PC/AT type connector. Pre-USB Macs use ADB,
which is completely different.
Except that I have USB on both. The keyboard is a macally USB
keyboard, the house is a Logitech 3-button wheel mouse (also USB); is
there such a thing as a USB switch which will switch between one
computer and the other?
I haven't heard of a switchbox for this, but what you want to do isn't
terribly hard. I'd get a cheap hub and attach both the keyboard and
mouse to it. Then, it should be possible to hot-swap this hub from one
computer to the other. (You may want to invest in one or two more hubs
if the computers' connectors are in inconvenient locations.)
Of course, this assumes that Linux supports USB keyboards and mice in
the first place. I didn't think that was working yet.
Alternatively, can I run the USB to BOTH computers (perhaps using a
hub, or maybe directly) and software-switch them? (Keyboard input to
both computers simultaneously is likely to be less than useful ;-)
I've never heard of this. You might want to ask this question in one of
the hardware newsgroups.
Has anyone else solved this problem? Two monitors and keyboards just
take up too much space. I could get a 21" monitor and have a much
more reasonable use of space.
I share one monitor with two computers at work (A PC and a Sun), and
just keep separate keyboards. They keyboards are easy to move out of
the way when you're not using them.

I switched from NT to Linux for reasons other than conflicts with my K6-2. I
switched because the OS is just not as stable as Linux, regardless. I've
been running a small file server on my families LAN and have not had a
reboot in 2 months going. If thats not stability, I don't know what is.

news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Out of desperation for more speed for M$ NT 4.0, I went to my local
bargain geek-shop and bought a Gigabyte motherboard along with AMD K6-
2/400 chip. This is the first time I've bought a non-Intel MB, but
everyone told me I'd have no probs.
But, I must get BSOD's in NT at least once a day. And it's stuff that
specifically mentions the processor.. One of its favorites is complaining
something about AMD EXCEPTION IRQ1 is LESS_OR_EQUAL .. Not quite sure
exactly what it means, but it happens all the time. Other bizarre
behavior as well.. StarCraft doesn't want to run smoothly, for some
reason.. Can't figure out if its the vid card to blame on this one, tho
(Voodoo3/2000)..
Anyway, these BSOD's are going to really get on my nerves. I canst stands

Support is available within any of the new kernels. Simply compile in SCSI
support, and select "Adaptec 7xxx support" under low-level SCSI drivers. I
have this controller, which works fine under Linux.

While my experience is mainly with TR4 drives, I feel I can help you out

That will require your main CPU to provide the horsepower to do the on

as a feature.

Hello gentleman,
I just want to add, that NS-series tape drives have
one more difference from TR drives - Read-While-Write
capability (like DAT and 8mm do), i.e. secondary
tape pass for verifying isn't required; the head
contains read channel for immediate error detection.
