    Duron 950 boxed + Soyo AS-121 barebone $149 at outpost.com

    Hey Y'all---- :) :) I just received 2 of these Duron 950 barebones systems and was pleased to find that they are now shipped with the Soyo K7VEM Pro motherboard. This addition of the RealTek lan chipset/port was an added bonus for a board that already has on-board video and sound. I haven't...

Great for left handers that are right handed input device challenged!!!

    Get a Toshiba SD-1600 DVD-Video Player PLUS $10 of stuff for $150!!

    Hey-------- I'll second the Pioneer DV-333 from Amazon. I got one for X-MAS and it plays CD-R (both store bought and burnt at home on my Plextor) and CD-RW just fine. Of course it plays DVD's (HEAT and BLADERUNNER) fine too! Well worth the $179 in my book! :D

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    Hi to all- Due to the Winter Storm that blanketed most of the Southern half of the U.S., the drives I sent LotsaMula were delayed in getting to him.

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    Howdy all------;) Just to keep everyone informed, the utility is proving to be somewhat difficult to compile. LotsaMula does not have the HP drive that we are trying to get renamed. So far we have tried 3 times with different ID strings, but the program is still not quite right. Rather than...

    Hi again y'all :D Splatt just e-mailed me the string for the HP CD40x, and I sent it to LotsaMula. It will be a few days before the program is written, but I wanted everyone that is interested in this to know that progress is being made, and we all will soon be able to use our drives as REAL...

    Floyd, Yaz, and others------ Thanks to Lore I was able to get in touch with LotsaMula In part here is his reply If both the HP unit AND the Plextor counterpart are SCSI and are completely identical, then it shouldn't be a problem other than changing a few lines of code in my original...

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    Floyd----- As I remember Lotsamula came up with a binary that would change the Imation 8X20 burner so it was recognized as a Plexy. I don't think he wrote that, but maybe we can get in touch with him and have the guy that authored it do the same for this HP unit. That worked great! After the...
