    Making my own patch cords

    Cat 5? the wires are twisted pairs, this provides some shielding from signal interference - maybe also a little help with impedance matching. If you have two signal lines in one twisted pair, you will reduce the threshhold for interference and be more likely to send bad/unreceivable packets...

    Cannot see the flash card "Tiny Disk" 512Mb on my WIN98

    You might google for and try NUSB22.EXE - supposed to be a universal port for W98SE I installed it on an older Dell Inspiron lapton and it did work as advertised.

    General Network Troubleshooting

    I have seen this problem when the cable connections are not perfect - just good enough to negotiate, but too many errors in transmitting data packets. Check your connections, jacks and plugs. If possible, move the computer to a different (working) location to test it.

    Tungsten E battery

    Mmmm, they way I understand it, the Tungsten E will 'trickle-charge' from a USB port (provided that port is equipped to supply power to devices). So, in future, absent a power brick you could use USB cable to do the job - don't need the palm software on the PC for charging purposes.

    question about CMOS

    It's been known to happen that the CMOS data gets messed up and the computer will not boot. Once I even had a PC where the power supply would not switch on (control via the MB). Solution was to remove the CMOS battery and short the terminals for about 20 seconds to absolutely clear the bad...

    Need a special batch file

    Sanur. Dunno if this is the same as bcastner's ref, but it is EASY to use. One caveat: you must include full path(s) in your batch file anywhere you reference another file, such as one containing the admin password. http://www.commandline.co.uk/sanur/index.html

    USB problems with Win 2000

    Hmmm... what other devices and which IRQs are in use? If you use default HAL they will all report as IRQ9 and the OS is supposed to sort it out. I would try to remove and/or disable as many things as possible - sound card, second USB port, etc. I have had past experience where a sound card on...
