    Problems getting Promise IDE interface card to work

    Thanks. I have the Ultra133 TX2 version of the card and it does support 48-bit LBA. I'll see what version of the BIOS is on there and update if necessary. Then, I'll try loading the drivers when I try to install Linux on the drive.

    Problems getting Promise IDE interface card to work

    I have an older Dell system that apparently doesn't recognize drives larger than 200 GB. I was trying to install a 500 GB secondary drive in there, but the system won't recognize it. I have checked the Dell website, and I have the latest BIOS for my system. Here is what I am wanting to do...

    Printing problems with Canon MP130

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did follow the instruction exactly. I finally got the black ink to start working by doing the deep cleaning (Head Refreshing). I still can't get the color to work right. it all comes out pink. I ordered some new ink cartridges and hopefully they will help...

    Printing problems with Canon MP130

    I just purchased a brand new Canon MP130 all-in-one printer, but after setting it up, it won't print anything. It acts like it is printing, but nothing shows up on the paper. I know I installed the print cartridges correctly, and everything else seems to be working on the printer (meaning it...

    Looking for new all in one printer - What's the difference between these 2?

    Ok, you guys talked me into it. I'm going with the MP130 (the others were more expensive than I was looking for). It was $99 where I bought it, which was a little more than the mp150 or mp170 (after rebate), but hopefully I will be able to make up the difference in ink costs. Hope I like it...

    Looking for new all in one printer - What's the difference between these 2?

    Well, I'm looking for one that has a built in scanner, and it has to be fairly compact since the space available is pretty small. I don't care about a fax either. I can't seem to find an mp130 at any place I've heard of. What is the print quality of the mp130 vs. the 150 or 170?

    Looking for new all in one printer - What's the difference between these 2?

    I am looking for a new all in one printer, and was looking at the Canons. I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the Canon MP150 and the Canon MP170. I was looking on the Canon website, and it looks like everything is exactly the same on them. The only difference is the...

    HP vs. Compaq

    Thanks everyone. That's about what I figured. If I decide to buy one, i'll just opt for the Compaq and save the money.

    HP vs. Compaq

    I am looking at Athlon XP systems from both HP and Compaq and was wondering what the differences between the two are. The specs are very similar, but the HP is almost $100 more. I know that HP now owns compaq, but will there actually be a difference besides the name on the case? Is one better...

    Win 98 SE install question - conflict

    I just reinstalled Win 98 SE on my sister's computer (it can't handle XP yet), and I am getting a conflict in the device manager that I can't figure out. It is in the Other Devices section, and all it says is "PCI Communication Device" with a yellow question mark next to it. Does anyone know...

    Need info on upgrading an older Athlon CPU

    My sister has an old Cybermax system that has an Athlon 650 mhz processer in it. I was wondering if she would be able to upgrade this processer to a faster one without upgrading the motherboard. She can't afford a whole new system right now, so I thought getting more memory and possibly...
