How to mount 2nd IDE drive in U10?

2006-03-01 Thread darin strait
Does anyone have a diagram that would show me how to physically mount a second IDE drive in my U10? Is there some spot that I can screw it to, or do I need to get some 3.5' to 5.25" conversion rails? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database Development and Administration "Change is hardest for those caught

I have a 120 GB drive in my U10. I have seen reports from people who have larger drives (IOW, drives larger than the "normal" 128 GB limit that is seen on older x86 hardware) in their U10s and/or U5s. I've always been too lazy to yank the 200 GB out of my SFF and try it in my U10. The SFF is more

I'm running stable, with the stable debian 2.4 kernel. I've got a new, no-name, five-port USB 2.0 PCI card plugged into my U10. The card has a VIA chipset and lspci seems to know all about it. usb-uhci gets loaded when the machine boots, and I get lots of messages about debounce failing on the

Anyone running MythTV and/or ivytv drivers on Ultra 10?

Before I try this, I thought that I would ask and see if anyone has tried this. I have a Hauppauge PVR250, which is a PCI card that does video encoding in hardware, and I am wondering if my Ultra 10 (with a 333 MHz processor) has enough horsepower to function as a MythTV backend. I run the U10 h

More storage for my Ultra10

Background: I have an Ultra10. It does very light duty as my personal subversion server and as a print server for the apartment. I would like to add more storage to it, primarily for near-line storage of my music collection. I'd probably be serving files through samba because I have to support a c

Knowing absolutely nothing about ultra hardware, I picked up a used U10 at a computer meet about 4 months ago for a fun project. This is a 333 MHz UltraSparc IIi, with 256 MB of RAM, a 9.1 GB IDE drive and an IDE CD-ROM. It's got a regular sun mouse and keyboard. It also had one of those Creator 3
