    Need a specific hard drive - or suggested sources

    I am in a dilemma. A few weeks back, my Maxtor DiamondMax 9 120GB drive gave out - of course with a ton of not-backed-up data on it. I've been trying to find a replacement driver controller board. What I am looking for specifically is a 6Y120P0040611, which is code below the bottom-most bar...

    Need help with Mits VS-50705 repair

    Hi y'all! Friends of mine have a Mits RPTV, model number VS-50705. Recently, the display failed on it. A company came in to try and fix it, ended up taking out all of the electronics leaving the shell. Then they apparently determined that the problem was a single board. The board is...

    Dual 1229

    Networked TiVo Player

    If you have a TiVo that has a damaged modem, don't give up on it - there's probably a fix for you. There was for me. Recently my TiVo's modem died. It was an old unit - one of the first ones, with 14hrs of recording capacity. 'Course I had modified it, adding a 120GB drive, so it has a wee...

    Front Projectors

    Angry at Dell

    They had a great deal - no doubt about that - and I am sure they have good products. I ordered the 1600SC server, next business day delivery. And they certainly were VERY careful to allow for speedy delivery (next day air, etc.) without ever saying that the product was indeed available...

    Monitor trouble

    I recently lost a 19" KDS monitor on my PC. It started losing picture size, then the image shook, then the image came back, and then I hear a bang, followed by a white cloud of smoke out the back and no image. Uhh, that monitor is toasted... Well, I put another one on there, and now it too is...

    Postings in the Game area

    To make this area a little bit more readable and fun - how about we do the following: 1. Short posts. No one - not even the authors - want to wade through a thesis. Worse yet, a blow-by-blow report of the blow-by-blow reply to a thesis - with full quoting, of course. 2. Legible posts...

    Baldur's Gate

    I am having trouble installing this thing on a Win2K workstation. Any ideas? I suspect it might be a too-fast CD-ROM... but not too sure. Thanks, Mike
