Why Does The World Hate Me??

No, they haven't sold these things in years, you'd need eBay.

Um, if it's really SCSI, chances are it's very old SCSI, and a modern SCSI won't be compatible.. That's if your not confusing the SCSI---like proprietary interface found on Sound Cards..

[evildragon]

As long as the SCSI drive you get is the correct SCSI to match it, sure, it should work.. What OS is on it? Hopefully Windows 95 or above...

[Joe Redifer]

I think I have an old SCSI Mac CD drive. It's external and I didn't use it much, but it is definitely SCSI.

[evildragon]

ouch.. I don't know how to do SCSI in DOS.. (even though win 3.11 is installed, it's a GUI, it's not the OS, so you need to do DOS work...)

(win95, 98, and ME are DOS GUI's too, but thats a different story.. those shells have plug and pray..)

[evildragon]

depends on the SCSI controller it uses..

I don't know if the el-torito standard was made yet when that PS/2 came out..

(i use a PS/2 Model 25 btw, it was the only non-MCA PS/2 made)...

[evildragon]

Um, that's up to you.

If you can find a 100MB ISA card, then go for that.. If all you can find is 10MBps, that's a personal opinion...

[evildragon]

I mean, Speedwise.

I bet ISA is faster though.

Your limited by the slowest link...

USB 1.1=12Mbps

ISA = I don't know...

10Mbps Ethernet = 10Mbps

[evildragon]

Even DOS supports file sharing.. In windows 95, it's just easier and more integrated...

For sharing audio ports, it won't work on those systems.. You can barely do it on a modern computer.. USB audio however, only 2Mbps faster, can do it.. I think it's the encapsulation of the network packets for Ethernet, that slows it down a bit..

[evildragon]

Oh jeez, not DLL Hell! That's a nightmare I want to forget. (one of the reasons going to Macintosh)...

[evildragon]

If it's missing, you will HAVE to download it yourself.. However, where it wants it, that's another story.

I would reccomend Firefox anyway. OpenSource, and uses the same system as Netscape, but with less crap hogging memory...

[evildragon]

This is why it's called DLL Hell.. "Sometimes"... You need to get it, it's obvious it's not found...

I never had a problem with Firefox.. That's not to say it won't have issues on a certain computer.. You could always give it another try though.. But, these days NetScape is bloatware.. It's fully loaded with all sorts of shit you really don't want..

Btw, the DLL missing is a VBRunTime I believe...

Awesome, Thank You .

Firefox stubbornly sometimes wouldn't connect through meh Wifi, But Netscape worked no problems. Also, I have a thing for Netscape because it was my first experience with the graphical internet.

I'm using Netscape 8.1.3 Right now lol

Firefox has nothing to do with a network, no browser does..

If you got a server not found message, you really authentically had an outage, and was pure coincidence.. I deal with this "complaint" alot, with ALL web browsers...

Don't forget, just because Netscape was one of the firsts, doesn't mean the same programmers are still active they got cheap ass lazy programmers now..

[evildragon]

Well...I dunno, I'm not a network guy as you can see.

All I can see is that, Netscape showed me the web while at the same time, FF Didn't. So Netscape works better for me.

And My Laptop actually Turned ON (!!!!!!!!!) For a whole TWO MINUTES just now.

Lol, something tells me im not gonna get the sleep i want/need.. LOL

[evildragon]

nah, don't worry about it.. im used to it..

im going to sleep for now though, i'll be awake in about 6 hours..

[evildragon]

YESSSSS, Netscape Worked!!! Whoohoo!

And Another Awesome Fact. my Laptop Works!!!

Turns out, the problem was with the *second* RAM Port. I took out the RAM. Voila! All my stuff!

Yaaaay,
Blades

I thought you checked all the sockets..

Glad it's working... I'll pray it stays working for you, lol
