Let's say I have two hard drives which I alternatively test, needing to
unplug and replug.
Can I just unplug one's power cable, leaving the flat data cable still
plugged in,
or must I unplug both power and data cables to avoid IDE protocol
interference, etc.?
It's the opposite. You can leave power to both of them - that won't
interfere with anything unless you are specifically troubleshooting a
power supply problem.
It's the IDE cable you'll want to remove to "remove" that drive.
There's also the possibility of having to change your jumpers around
quite a bit with this type of troubleshooting.
Hmm. I guess either way would work OK - the easiest solution, if you have
newer hard drives is to set both to "auto" with their jumpers (rather than
setting one to master and one to slave and having to constantly re-jumper
them). You MIGHT still have to go into your BIOS every time to upgrade the
drive listing...depends on the BIOS.
Personally, I'd rather be unplugging the power cable than the IDE - less
chance of damaging one of those nasty little pins...but then, I'm clumsy!

Something you need to check is in the printing setup in the remote

get lost in a twisty maze of dependencies, all slightly different.
We also use the "LPP" package manager in AIX. The AIX system has much more
intricate dependency checking than RPM, but I found the RPM system easier to
build packages for. The sophisticated dependency checking is hard to set up
just right when building packages, but when well done, it save end users a lot
of trouble. We have been amazed at the intelligence built into IBM LPPs on
AIX - it has saved our skin many times.
The way to support general intelligence in RPM is to have a script entry point
that returns GO/NOGO and displays diagnostics like "need X" or "can't work with
Y". The script can query the existing and projected installed base to make its
decision. The IBM way involved "prerequisites", "corequisites", and "stop
versions". (I.e. this version of this package stops working at version 5.1 of
requisite package ibm.foo.bar.)
Ah the LPP package in AIX, how do I long for thee, after
using it for years (Whoops - showing my age)! I lived by

Hi there,
according to a test of a german computer magazin it is
not worth to go with a large secondary cache on the board.
Du to the internal cache of the K6-3 the performance does not
benefit of it. They had tests with 512K/1M/2M cache and with
no cache at all. The differneces where just marginal between
no cache at all and some cache. The difference between the
different cache size was in about 0.5% increase.
The FIC board is not bad at all, I by myself got a DFI and I'm
qutie happy with it.

Now finally, here comes the list of first round choices. As said

Your friend is right. I have had the pleasure to shave him this morning,

Mind you, cost of ownership of a machine comprises more than just the
price of purchase. The time you waste^H^H^H^H^Hspend on the web to hunt
down the right drivers / BIOS updates / spare parts in case something

unparalleled. (No, I don't hold stock of IBM, but I probably should.)

Why? Stay away from so-called WinModems and you're fine. WinModems
offload the data processing to the host CPU via an OS specific driver,
and so far they are around only for Windoze Version of the day.
So you're up shit creek with anything else, and, on top of that, they
use CPU cycles which could be useful for other stuff. The argument, that
nowadays CPUs are powerful enough is as limited as the statement of
BillyBoy Grates that "640kB of memory ought to be enough for everybody".
It sort of sucks rocks when your modem connexion starts dropping

error filling up my screen:
hda: read intr: status = 0x59 {DriveReady Seekcomplete Data Request Error}
hda: read intr: error = 0x40 {unrecoverable error} LBASect = "SomeNumber",
Sector = "SomeNumber"
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 sector "SomeNumber"
My first assumption was that there was bad sectors on the drive. So I
re-Fdisked, re-formated and scaned for bad sectors. But none were found.
I tried installing on a new drive, and much to my suprise I got the exact
same error!
I've searched around for info on this error but so far i've turned up nothing.
So I decided to try here.
I know the drive is ok, it doesn't even hicup in Win95. so my next suspect is
my cheap shaudy VXpro chipset.
Some info on my machine. It's a Houston/hsin tech mainboard, Cyrix 6x86L cpu,

suffers from the infamous 528 MB limitation. Am I correct in my
understanding that under Linux I could run large harddrives from this
motherboard? To be more precise I want to use a 10 GB harddrive for
