Joel: Toshiba T3200 SXC

nospam@example.com (Joel) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:08:17 +0100

Hello from California,USA. I have a T3200 286-12 I bought at a Ham Swap-Meet. The problem I have with mine is when I try to read a 1.44MB floppy disk, I get "Not Ready Reading Drive A". The drive itself is marked 1.44 on the button so I would assume it would work. I tried test3 to configure the floppy drives and I still get the error. I even tried plugging and external floppy controller (set to hex 3f8) into the 8-bit slot with a separate HD floppy drive. I get the same error on that drive as well. My computer also has the ESDI 27Pin Hard disk. But I cant upgrade the operating system without floppy access.

Thanks for this, got curious while indulging in some Privateer nostalgia, since the gun values found on the internet can vary quite a bit. Anyway, the reason that the Boosted Steltek Gun damage value is negative is because (as it turns out), guns with a negative damage value are the only ones capable of damaging the Steltek drone at the end battle. You could, for instance, set the damage for the Tachyon Cannons (ordinary 50) to -50 (or "CE FF" in little-endian) and be capable of taking out the drone using your Tachs. Oh, and Privateer runs great on my Linux system in Dosbox, on my (admittedly ancient by this time) 1.7GHz Athlon XP system, btw - to get the speed up to spec, just make sure these are in your dosbox conf file: core=dynamic cycles=auto ... and then to make sure the joystick works properly, I added this section: [joystick] joysticktype=2axis timed=false Anyway, thanks again!

hello, I'm Gabriel, I have a video card G72M Quadro NVS 110M Nvidia GeForce 7300. I come from this web page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414496 user Falstaff For me, impossible to get working 3d drivers with the basic karmic ubuntu (173,185,195 ...). He said he was able to run the card with your post and the driver "the latest beta driver from Nvidia binary (version 97.42) " I looked on nvidia but nothing about this driver! ... if You still have the 97.42 driver to make a good facility and try your manipulation, i would like you send me one! I already downloaded your file org.conf Thank you Gaby

Aaron Clausen: Stop supporting IE7?

nospam@example.com (Aaron Clausen) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:26:16 +0100

I agree with IE7 and web standards. IE7 doesn't support CSS 2.1 among many other issues. It's become VERY dated these days very quickly. Personally, I no longer support it and that is not an easy decision to arrive at because still ~14% of users are using it. I just know that as each month goes by, more and more people will be auto upgraded to IE8 via Windows Update. At least that's one good thing.

haha these people are funny. and they're idiots. i'm a 15yr old and the first thing was open the files to look what you needed. unlike these dumbos. i REALLY like the gun. and guess what. i made it in 8 hours spread over a night and a morning. and it's done! (and beautifully black.) so if you wanna know what my Reagle looks like, sen me an e-mail (Spencer12394@hotmail.com) (that's 12394) . and you can tell me if there's something wrong with the trigger Guard

Found your page when I was having trouble with my TS-L632D - DE03 in my Dell Inspiron E1505 using Windows Vista. Followed your instructions to flash the SC04 firmware and it work great! Thanks for the post.

Michael Bronzini: Nice GTK1 fonts in Ubuntu

nospam@example.com (Michael Bronzini) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:11:54 +0200

Thank you so much for this piece of information. I've been struggling for years with this issue and this is by far the best solution. And my old solution did not work when I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my new laptop. In the past I have only used Debian and not Ubuntu so I am not sure what is different between the 2. But your solution works in both of them which is great! The only thing I had to change in your tip was to write the .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 this way. style "user-font" { fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--12-*--*-p-*-iso10646-*" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" Maybe this is what you meant when writing (with your personal font definition)? But nevertheless THANKS FOR THE TIP!!!
