Tunnelcat's comments raise a question, and that is, is it still possible to download the older versions of DXX? I know there used to be links going back to Version 0.30 on the project site, but all I see are the latest version now.

Perhaps Private_Joker can post a photo of the USB adapter so we can see if he got shafted.

I posted the modified drivers at VOGONS:

No, you had it right where JMEaT quoted you above: the USB end of the connector should be attached to an existing USB 1.1 port on the computer, and the power end should be attached to the power connector on the USB 2.0 PCMCIA card. The USB devices you attach to the USB 2.0 PCMCIA card will be ...

I dredged up the install guide for this card, and it says the same thing as JMEaT: \"Note: Some USB devices, such as an external hard disk drive, may require the USB 2.0 CardBus to be powered. Please plug in the power adapter if your device needs it. Refer to the device's manual for more details ...

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 ...

I rebooted, disconnected the network cable, turned everything off in the system tray and let her rip. It took a little over 20 minutes for the SP to run (not counting the obligatory reboot at the end) on my 866 MHz Pentium III Win XP Pro box.

I just saw the download in Windows Update for the first time today. I was able to download it from the Windows Catalog (KB936929).

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 ...

It looks like we may have dueling balloons: http://showcase.netins.net/web/wallio/ARHABlaunchannouncements.htm There are now two other Trans-Atlantic floater balloons scheduled (at least tentatively) for today. SDG-10 is tentatively scheduled to launch from Detroit, MI, and WB8ELK-11 is scheduled to ...

Roid, From what I read and what was said in their chat room, it sounded like it was used as ballast (and dumped). They had a mission re-cap of SNOX IV Saturday before last, and they said that one of the major problems was that the automatic system was obliged to use all of the ballast on the first ...

With regard to the specific problem above, you seem to be trying to return an undefined value. Prior to the public declaration of WalkSpeed, you privately assign a value to m_WalkSpeed, so it is defined. When you declare the \"get\" line you return a defined value, so the WalkSpeed declaration is ...

I remember the post Kyo has in mind as well, but I don't remember who made it.

I have put together a small package of SW3DPRO.VXD drivers that should span a very wide range of performance. I was able to find at least one driver in the package that worked for all three of the Win9x machines that are available to me, and performance up to several GHz should be supported. File ...

akula65

Your problem #1 is something I pretty much had to address. The delay values that are hard-coded for the sequence of Start Digital commands in the SW3DPRO.VXD file don't correspond to the acceptable values that Microsoft specified in the patent application (at least the first one does not). The ...

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 ...

For those of you who have an interest in using the MS SideWinder 3D Pro in Win9x, I have some good news. I just got done playing some D3 with my 3D Pro on my 933 MHz Pentium III/133 MHZ FSB machine, I wasn't in an analog emulation mode, and I don't own one of Grendel's nifty converters. I selected ...

I use Firefox. I started using Netscape Communicator and Navigator over ten years ago and continued to do so until 2006. I am accustomed to the Mozilla layout. Also, I switched to Linux as my primary operating system for day-to-day use in 2006 as well, so Firefox was a natural choice since it worked ...

This is just under what I am supposed to be paying for. Like Krom, I'm in the boonies, but there is no cap and the speed is consistent. No cable modem option here because the local cable company refuses to string a line up the hill where I live.

Like Richard says, they take a licking, but keep on ticking. It's a pity you can't say the same thing about other types of components. The paper capacitors in the power supply of my Heathkit rig are all shot. I'm going to have to replace all of them to get the thing running again.

Briefly. Around 1990 I was developing a software package that HF RTTY enthusiasts could use to print 3rd-shift Cyrillic RTTY text which came predominantly from the Soviet fishing fleet. I bought an AEA PK-88 unit to get started in packet radio, and at the same time, I also bought an AEA PK-232 and a ...

I upgraded to Advanced in 1988 and Extra in 1994. I hit a 12 WPM plateau after I got my Novice ticket because I had not really learned to copy code properly, and it took quite a while to \"unlearn\" it and learn to do it the right way. I suppose there is a part of me that feels the same as you do in ...

Richard, did you know the FCC got rid of ALL Morse Code requirements last year? They have also reduced the license classes to just Technician, General, and Extra. You can renew if you have a Novice or Advanced license, but they no longer issue new Novice or Advanced licenses. It's nice to know there ...

I have been an amateur radio operator since 1980 when I was licensed as KA4QWI. I upgraded my license in 1988 and got a new callsign, KM4IC. After moving to Alaska in 1997, I got a new callsign, AL0I.
