    Joining Team AnandTech??

    Oh, I just thought of something... Maybe I have to wait until all packets are completed and then it will send the info off to dist.net... I still have 5 packets in my buff-in.rc5 and 14 packets in my buff-out.rc5 Is that an accurate statement? Thanks, Rich

    A7V/Promise ATA100 driver issue?

    Hey all, I guess I wan't awake or something... I just assumed that on the second ATA100 channel you could have another device. Well, after I took my Plextor RW drive off and re-installed the driver, everything works really well... I now have the RW drive on the onboard ATA66... Take care, Rich

    128 mb PC133 CAS 2 $86

    Hey, you ordered on the 28th?? There is definately something wrong. My order was shipped the 2nd day after I placed the order(sure it went to the wrong guy, but hey, at least it was shipped... ;) ) I would give them a call and find out. If it hasn't shipped yet, tell them to cancel the order...
