    New Laptop - I purchased a used Dell Latitude D600 about three months ago. A new setup page has been added for it.  
         
    Changed Drives - The Seagate ST318416W Ultra-160 18GB and Quantum Atlas IV 36GB Ultra-160 SCSI drives in my file server have been replaced with three Quantum Atlas 10K II 36GB Ultra-160 LVD SCSI drives. The appropriate setup page has been updated to reflect the upgrades.  
         
    I've been more outgoing this past summer, which is part of the reason I have not been posting as much. Another reason is I really got burned out trying to rebuild my file server. I purchased two more Intel SHG2 boards, as well as a Tyan S5350 board, and I am currently unable to get a video spike with them. I have two separate sets of Xeon processors, and I have tested and verified the power suplpy is good. I'm hoping to have better luck in the near future.

    New RAID Array - Two of the Quantum Atlas 10K II 36GB drives in one of my file server RAID arrays developed errors last week. I have had a few problems in the past, and I am unsure if it was due to bad cables, bad terminators, or bad drives. Since I had bought a box of Seagate Cheetah ST173404LCV U160 LVD SCSI 73GB drives last year, I decided to put four in a new RAID 5 array. I also swapped out the two AMI MegaRAID Express 200 (466) controllers for a single AMI MegaRAID Elite 1600 (493) U160 LVD PCI-X controller. The file server setup page has been updated to reflect these upgrades.

    Updated Links Page - There are a few changes to my links page. ULi was bought out by nVidia awhile back, but I am unable to find a webpage that lists the old chipsets (which were initially created by ALi). Exabyte was bought out by Tandberg Data in 2006; one link has been exchange for the other. CompUSA is going out of business. The Computer Archival Photography Project was initially located at another website. I made several attempts to contact the original designer, but he never let me know his intentions. So, I am running a copy here until I hear otherwise.
