turns out this was the same video cable I used before and when I got home I pulled in the shuttle and nothing. So it appears to be a dead dog.
I'm going to try something different. I have many old computers here. Mostly they will work. But they are just old. I'll take my HDD and install in into another box which has an FDD and II guess I'll do it the old way. When I get a bootable HDD then I'll xfer everything over via rsync and swap the HDD in my desktop to the new one. Q) I think this is true. I _should_ be able to install a 160 GB IDE HDD in a 200 mHz PI. The bios will not recognise the size but I don't think that matters because the bios should only be involved at boot time. right? My current desktop has an 80GB and its not close to full. I prefer to just take the old drive to the bank vault for backup "just in case". Down the trck I'll probably go to new hardware and I'd like something which is small. I would love something the size of an asus eeePC but with a decent processor and some expansion capability. I have a lot of SCSI gear. Does anyone know of a SCSI-USB I/F? Also some of us were talking about robotics. One of the things I want to do is get some CNC stuff running. I'd like to see a project which a number of us can participate in. No use each of us inventing the same thing. For most of what I'm thinking it would be driven by gcode and the issue is ususally this is via a parallel port and it would be great to get something the size of an eeePC which is all we need for brains... we just need to drive the motors. Who has the expertise to drive steppers and better yet servos? Great meeting... great talk as well.
