    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    The woman I talked to said that there was no way to change the speed of the extraction, and that in light of that fact, the drive was probably defective. I can only hope so...

    Problems with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    Beta 4.29's worked fine after I uninstalled the IDE miniport that came with 4.28. Glad that's fixed. Also, with the auto-insert info I felt brave enough to flash my firmware in Win2k. It worked, but it didn't fix the DAE problem. Tomorrow the drive is going to be in a box on its way to Teac in...

    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    Nope, tried both the 4.28 (don't use these, they hosed my IDE stuff) and the 4.29 (works ok) and neither helped the DAE thing. I also flashed the firmware to 2.0D. That didn't help. Tomorrow it's in a box on its way to Teac.

    Problems with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    Man, those Via 4.28v 4n1's f*'d my s* up. 2k now says that all my disk drives are SCSI even though I only have one SCSI drive. I can't set any IDE settings at all. I'm gonna try those Beta 4.29's to see if maybe that fixes my problem with the 4.28s...

    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    I don't think that is the problem because my other cdrom drive extracts at 8.0x (its max rating). Only the Teac drive is acting strange.

    Problems with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    CQuinn, I thought about that but I need to know how to disable the cdrom auto-insert notification in win2k as instructed by the flash program and the readme that accompanies it. Bacillus, Yeah, I'm running 4.25a. I called tech support today and they didn't know what was up with the drive. I...

    Probably. Just got an RMA # from Teac to send it back.

    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate your input. I don't think you understand. If I remove the second CDROM then the manual says that you have to install it as a master. As far as the manual stating that you should install it as a slave to another cdrom, my guess is that they want you to do...

    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    Yeah, I did see that in the manual... but it still did that when I had it hooked up on its own chain as the secondary master, as shown in step 4. =)

    Problem with Teac 512EB IDE Burner

    I installed my Teac 512EB Burner yesterday and it's acting kind of strange. I haven't tested the burn capability on it yet, but when I try to do some DAE, it only extracts at 1.2x. It's rated 14-20x for DAE. Anyone know what's up with this? I have it installed as a secondary master. There is...

    TEAC CD-W512EB burn proof (12x10x32) for 147 dollar free shipping

    It definitely does _not_ auto-disable auto-insert. The firmware readme comes with a page worth of instructions on how to disable auto-insert notification in win9x. There's got to be a way to do it in win2k, but I don't know what that method is. Anyone come up with a solution to the DAE problem...

    17" monitor @ BB for $109 (no MIR)

    Big, Samtron monitors are Samsung's lowend. (Kinda like a Lincoln is a nice Ford, but the other way around.) If you look on the box it says that Samsung makes it and warranties it. BTW, for $109, that's a hell of a monitor. Wouldn't use it for my primary box, but I think I'll pick one up for a...

    Man you guys must have some large Targets near you. I'm away at school and the local Target isn't like the one we have back at my hometown (a Target Greatland).

    I still didn't have any luck on those VCRs. =) They had a Philips for 99.99 but I think that the sku ended in 611 not 411. They did have 1 Toshiba and 1 Mitsubishi on their clearance shelf, but they were both floor models and didn't have remotes and were not marked down much. I did notice that...

    Unable to flash MSI K7T Pro2A?

    I'm having a weird problem when I try to flash my pro2a. I made a floppy (format /s) in w98 and extracted the 2.4 bios to the floppy. When I boot from the floppy it goes into the flash program and doesn't do anything. It says on the bottom "Don't turn off power or reset computer" or...

    Pro2A is actually a KT133A indisguise?

    I have a pro2a also; I don't think that it's a kt133a. Wouldn't H.Oda's wcpuid list the chipset as kt133a under agp info if it were? (ver 2.8c-b5) As far as pro2a vs. turbo, I thought the turbo also had built-on RAID in addition to the 133a chipset.

    TEAC CD-W512EB burn proof (12x10x32) for 147 dollar free shipping

    I think this is a really good deal. For $157 you get a wicked drive and Nero? Man, if you look at most B&M stores you're looking at $150 for an 8x drive, and it'll probably have Adaptec instead of Nero. I got mine yesterday, and for some reason I can't extract audio faster than 1.2x? (yes...

    Monitor Blowouts at Omax ......OMX posts no longer

    If the stores have the monitors, where would they be? I went to the local OM yesterday and I didn't see any monitors except a 15" and a 19" Generic (I think it said Mirage?) CRT. The only other stuff there was Gateway stuff. Would they keep them in the back? I would have to ask for...

    Thanks for the heads-up on those bikes! I've _really_ wanted to get a bike for a while now and with the info here I was able to get one of those Concords at the Target near NIU. (Even us poor college kids can scrape up $35.14 + tax.) They seemed to have a few of those Electroshock ones left.

    has anyone read that the overclocking pen cause cancer

    The pen comes with a MSDS sheet that outlines possible risks associated with the chemical. Its hazard rating is Toxicity:2 Flamability:2 Reactivity: 1, with 2 = moderate, and 1 = slight. Inhalation: Repeated inhalation of concentration above permissable exposure limits may result in severe or...

    How do I get Quake 3 Demo to keep playing over and over?

    When I was having stability problems on my last rig, I used Q3 to test it too. Set up a single player skirmish with bots, timelimit 0, fraglimit 0. Start the game and then go to the console and type /team s. This will remove you from the game, and the bots will fight indefinately. Personally I...

    I want to over clock my amd duron but can't find pen,

    Unlocking Duron permanently

    I went to the local Radio Shack and the kid there ordered me a conductive ink pen through Radio Shack Unlimited. The pen was $8.96, and I paid $2.50 for delivery to my house. Including tax, I paid 12.11 for the pen. My only complaint about the pen is that although the tip of the pen is no...

    Can't get pencil trick to work?

    Poof, I'm not sure if the capacitor thing is really the culprit here. Granted, I am not an engineer, nor do I claim to be. It seems to me that an initial jump from 650->700 shouldn't have that much more significant a power drain. Additonally, after rebooting in said fashion, any time the system...

    Can't get pencil trick to work?

    Yeah, after I rebooted like Argonaut56 did, it worked fine and overclocked. I eventually got it my 650 up to 850 @ 1.7 volts. I tried going to 900 but it wouldn't post and on reboot it would boot at 500. I set the Multiplier and Voltage in BIOS, then saved and exited. When it would exit the...

    Can't get pencil trick to work?

    Oh, I don't use a screwdriver at all when adding or removing the heatsink. With the motherboard out of the case, I can do it with my hand. Maybe I am missing something, doesn't resetting the CMOS after changing the multiplier in the bios also reset the multiplier back to default?

    Can't get pencil trick to work?

    No, I don't think you understood my last reply. The funky reboot trick worked great, and I didn't have to reset my CMOS. Also, I take the motheboard out because it is easier to put the heatsink back on. If I thought it was easy enough to do with it in the case, I would have done so.

    Can't get pencil trick to work?

    I can't seem to get the pencil trick to unlock my processor. I've tried like 4 times already and it's starting to get annoying taking the motherboard out of the case so much. Whenever I place the processor back into the socket and partially reassemble to test it, it boots fine. I get into the...
