Re: 10BT cables and lightning

paths to long wires - such as from the sound card to the hi-fi to the cable-TV wire. Maybe you don't need that, or if you want to keep it, get an isolation transformer for the cable-TV wire. Even after all of this, you might get zapped again. Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED

How to un-write-protect jaz disk from Linux?

I have a write-protected jaz disk. There's a software command to un-write-protect it under the supported operating systems. How does one do this under Linux? Other than that, the jaz works fine. I did a backup to it yesterday. Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL

Re: frequently paused modem connection

Pauses usually happen because of re-training (modems stop to re-do equalization and decide what speed they will use on the line). Matt's suggestion to upgrade your FLASH (if possible) is correct. Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510-215-3502 Finger [EMAIL

Re: No support of BIOS power management for SCSI disks?

Linux is not using the BIOS hard disk driver in any case, you should not use the BIOS hard disk timeout. I'm not sure if the hdparm tool will tell a SCSI disk when it can spin down or not. You might install hwutils and try that. Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] 510-215-3502
