Hello Wayne - 

CA>>> connecting to juge.com? I will email their tech people
CA>>> and hopefully they will fix their systems. 

WC>> I've been to his BBS since, it's up now from here anyway. 

CA>> I've sent an email to the tech support address where the
CA>> bottleneck is located. Now to see if they read their email
CA>> and care to fix the problem? 

No response from the ISP in question and no access to juge.com
from here as of 07-30-03 at noon today. 

CA>> --8<--cut 

WC>> Yeah it's a 3 volt cell and the CMOS wants 3.6 so it's
WC>> slowly losing time and complains on boot asking me to
WC>> enter setup or continue, continue works 

CA>> Three rechargeable AA batteries would be 3.6 since they
CA>> are 1.2 per cell. 

WC> Yeah but I'd have to snag the charging current from either
WC> the old onboard CMOS battery positive connection or add a
WC> limiting resistor from a PS source or they self discharge
WC> in a month, BTW I'd thought of this one. 

Was not aware they would discharge. 

WC> Point rendered moot anyway, motherboard now trashed :-(
WC> Working too fast and off the wrong release GIFF image from
WC> a revised image of the board I killed the BIOS chip and or
WC> onboard video. What happened was a jumper that was loose
WC> enough to dislodge isself on the I/O card did so and both
WC> cards, motherboard and separate I/O attempted to setup at
WC> the same time. Smoked the motherboard. Had I taken the time
WC> to unzip the older GIFF image from the original I/O
WC> documentation I'd have seen that this was likely the reason
WC> for the revision. See in revision B that jumper is not
WC> closed as they apparently just soldered it under the board
WC> leaving off that jumper entirely likely to prevent exactly
WC> what happened to me. Too bad as had that error caught my
WC> eye it would have setup rather nicely and given me an ATAPI
WC> compliant second master. Now to find some old hardware to
WC> slap that drive into, not priority. 

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like my 'oops' with those external
stereo speakers I smoked recently. 

WC>> The e-mail was about the modems, the one you never got.
WC>> Will try again tomorrow after verifying your e-mail
WC>> address from your web site. 

WC> You're still using the Hotmail e-mail address? 

Yes, it's my spam bucket unfortunately. :-\ I've had that
address for over 5 years maybe even longer. 

WC> Sent another e-mail, let me know if you got it and if not
WC> send me one at kevlar{at}verizon.net so I can verify that
WC> address and resend. 

Nothing as of noon today. I will send you a different address,
I have several. :-)
