I have an HP N3215 notebook machine with a single USB 1.1 port, and I bought an SIIG USB 2.0 CardBus Dual port card from CompUSA several years ago. It also has a power connector between the USB ports, but mine shipped with an AC adapter. The output of the AC adapter is listed as 4.0-5.5 Volts and 2....

As Grendel has mentioned in this thread and other threads, the value (and quality) of the capacitors in the gameport circuitry does have a bearing on the timing, so that fact can account for the ability of some select faster machines to work with the 3DP in particular circumstances. However, the fun...

If they can get the payload back, they might be able to launch one more mission this season, provided they can get a balloon in time. One or both of the other two missions is supposed to take place next weekend. I had no idea there were so many groups involved in this stuff. There are still more gro...

WillyP, I would guess that (comparatively) slow P4s would work along with fast Pentium IIIs. A 1.8 GHz P4 would probably be borderline, so that may explain the occasional loss of calibration. I remember when P4s first came out that there was a lot of talk about the fact that slower-clocked P3s were ...

Since this driver is a VXD driver, it is usable only on Win9x systems, so it cannot be used on Windows OSes based on the NT kernel (which would include WinXP). For NT-kernel OSes, you would need a WDM-compatible driver, like the one which Microsoft provided with WinXP. I have heard a lot of people s...
