We covered this in detail here: http://tm0.com/sbct.cgi?s=117655167&i=304463&d=1044602 We recommend getting a BURNProof drive. That eliminates buffer underrun entirely. If you don't have BURNProof, make sure you dedicate your machine to burning - get up and walk away while it's recording. We also recommend Nero software for burning - it's the best. Try it free for a month or so from http://www.nero.com * Telnet to your Linux Box Mark from Somerworth, NH has had some problems with telnetting to his Linux box from Windows. The Telnet server never says hello. Mark was right, there's no specific HOW-TO on Telnet, but the telnet man page should give you all the info you need on properly configuring the daemon. Telnet's not secure anyway, so we recommend SSH instead. You can read all about it and get a copy (if your distro doesn't come with one) at http://www.ssh.org/ * The synergy of multiple drives Jason from Providence, RI has a bunch of hard drives and wants them to look like one drive to his computer. You can do that with RAID 0, of course, but it's best to have identical drives and no IDE RAID card supports more than 4 drives at once. Windows 2000 offers something called Dynamic Volume Managment that will let you combine multiple drives into a single virtual drive. Read all about it at http://www.microsoft.com/DirectAccess/PartnerGuide/smallbusiness/techread/volume.asp * "Palm" your InfoFiction Mike from Oceanside, CA is a 12 year old with taste. He wants to play the classic text adventure Zork on his Visor. A great match. We have an article about Zorking your Palm at http://tm0.com/sbct.cgi?s=117655167&i=304463&d=1044606 We recommend the the Frotz interpreter at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/2367/. You can find Zork and 90 other adventures at the Palm Pilot Entertainment Zone, http://www.fortunecity.com/underworld/rpg/22/ And for those of you who want to try those classic Infocom adventures online try http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/infocom/ You can play the first text adventure, Colossal Cave, (based on Crowther and Woods Adventure) here: http://www.pond.com/~russotto/zplet/ifol.html * IDE Controllers Ted from Nacogdoches, TX has maxed out his IDE connectors. He wonders if adding a PCI card IDE controller will be slower. Patrick says it may even be faster, if it's a better controller. We recommend the Promise controllers, http://www.promise.com. That's it from the new set of the old show. Patrick took off with Commander Taco and Hemos, so this is your faithful scribe, Leo, signing off!
