Thank you all for the comments. I suspect that this issue [exceeding mapped drive limits] is something that every network administrator has to wrestle with. I would be curious to hear what their solutions are....

Murray, That makes sense. Perhaps my question should have read "Are you limited to twenty-two mapped drives?" where A:, B:, C: and D: [CD-ROM] are typically spoken for. Granted, having one's explorer window fully populated from E:~Z: is crowded, but the question remains: "Is this it as far as...

I am not sure if this question has been answered earlier or not so I apologize if it has. I have gotten to where I cannot get along without my [USB] flash drive. On networks at work and home almost the whole alphabet is used up [A~Z] :( What happens when a user plugs in the 27th device?? USB...

Has anyone had success installing a DVD burner in an exteranal USB 2.0 enclosure? It would be nice to have this peripheral "portable." I am looking at the Plextor 708X drive. TYIA

Just downloaded Iomega's latest driver. I'll try it later on this evening....thanks! Haven't been to that site in years. Hopefully this'll do it :)

I have the same question. I have a GX400 dual head VGA display card and it works great. BUT, I would like to clone the display. I bought an OEM card so I don't know if this is even possible. Expanding the desktop is great, but there are still times that I'd like to clone. Case in point is...

Already have the color printer [HP 2500L color laser]. Works great. Only problem is that I have it hooked up to a SECOND computer, just to print. I know, very lame way to do it. It's getting close to summer and the heat from the extra 300W power supply gets hard to tolerate :( Guess I'll...

I tried searching the archives for "Printer" before posting this. So, if I have overlooked the answer, I apologize :( I am running SBS2000 and have an HP LaserJet already hooked up to the single parallel port. I would like to connect a second color printer, but am not sure the best way to do...

No, this is an IDE device [as stated in the subject line]. Frustrating that I can't get to my info :( Thx for the link tho :)

I have a pile of ZIP disks [100mb] floating around and I would really like to get the information off of these. Problem is I updated my OS from W98SE to Win2K and found out that that device is no longer recognized. Has anyone been able to make an IDE-based ZIP disk [100mb] unit function...

Lemon13 - took a look at the PDF. You are correct, this does not seem to be very easy to accomplish. I guess I'd better just get another one of these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3757&item=4122427721 ...and tear it down and put in an enclosure of my own choosing...

I purchased one of those external hard drive enclosures and it works great. My question is this: Does anyone have a schematic for the USB 2.0 interface that one of these units is using? There is a little switching power supply inside too. I am looking for the electronic "guts" that connect...

Jonathon, I wish you were WEST of the Cascades. I regularly stop in on RE-PE here in Seattle: http://www.repc.com/ I bought black rack mount 4U cases with PS/CD/FD for $49.95, monitors ranging in price from $4.95 [yes, four-ninety-five!] to $39.95. If looks are not a...

Just got ahold of a Mitsumi SR243T CD-ROM that came out of a Satellite laptop. Hopefully the connector on the back will be more "standard" than the Dell device I am struggling with... "Blujacket" - thanks for the confirmation about running Win2k on an Athlon 700HMz w/256MB SDRAM :) "satrow" -...

Seems a shame to have to devote the single PCI slot on this motherboard for a USB 2.0 port card, BUT, that seems to be the best way to connect faster devices [scanners, external hard drives, CDR/RW, etc.] to this "legacy" board. I just hope that 256mb SDDRAM and 600MHz CPU won't be painfully...

Installed an "old" hard disk in a USB 2.0 enclosure. Very simple to do. You do need to remember to set the jumper pin on the hard disk to be "master" or "MA" My only complaint with external USB devices, in general, is the use of those little square Type "B" connectors. Very hard to tell...

Hadn't thought of that angle [hacking an old CD drive]. I've got a few laying around, I'm sure that one wouldn't mind donating it's "body" to science. Problem is all of those pesky little plastic gears that are required to open and close the tray. Still wish I could economically make a laptop...

Send me a photo of your "Laptop-In-A-Drawer" when you get it finished. I guess you can't really call it a desk-TOP computer when you get it done, eh? I'll try and post some shots of my finished mini-microATX 'puter, if I ever get it done. This is an image of the tiny little mobo that I got...

After some thought, I guess I should just suck it up and go ahead and use one of the five or six "full-sized" CD-ROM drives I have laying around on MY workbench. Any laptop drive would most likely require a hack-job mounting bracket. The 5.25" standard width is easy enough to work with. I...

I am located in Washington state. I am guessing, but because you sent that mini-ITX link, that you are in the UK? What are you offering to swap? You have a more "standard" laptop CD-ROM drive?
