I have it plugged along with the keyboard into the USB hub of the monitor. USB support on BeOS was very shaky when development stopped. Right now, Max and DevEd are frozen at that moment. They just have extra third-party software. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll have any luck. The scroll wheels...

That's very helpful, thank you! So, to summarise what I think I heard, I will notice some performance loss on the ATA33 but nothing crippling. Final question: Is the Promise FastTrak 66 RAID card any good? I see one of these on EBay for $5.95 and if it's good and will get my new drive up to full spe...

There is a local store that's selling Western Digital JB drives (the 8MB cache/7200rpm ones) cheap so now I can go pick up a 120GB unit. I just wanted to confirm that I was not wasting my money f...

How big a hard disk are you using?

I think I worded that title in a fairly innuendo-proof way. :) I need to get a bigger drive for my BP6-based system. I'm running the RU BIOS without HPT366. I e-mailed ABit and they told me that the BP6 will only support a 75GB drive, but from reading these threads it seems that plenty of people are...

I tried it and liked it better than Mandrake. The install is actually easier and less confusing than Mandrake's, not to mention faster. Looks like RedHat learnt from their competition. I find Gnome to be pretty fast on my dual 550, certainly comparable to XP. Two gripes: first off, the XMMS that Red...
