BTW, I have tried these experiments on both drives with the same result, so it would not seem that the drives themselves are at fault, and neither of them is really old. The MB, on the other hand, is long in the tooth (Pentium4) and I had been thinking of replacing it with a G41 chipset and E7500 CPU.
My newest CPUs are single core, at least 4 years old. I see no need for newer any time soon.
Among other things, Google Earth is glacial on (now inoperable) Pentium IV desktop machine, but quite peppy on this dual core laptop that I am using in the meanwhile. I have, BTW, been offline since Thursday evening, because (like I didn't have enough trouble) my ADSL modem died, and the telco replaced only today, after the weekend.
When you get a chance, I'd like to see complete DFSee 'fdisk -r-' output and the Geo portion of 'map -m' output, like the head of http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/gx270L01.txt , unwrapped of course. There may be something we're just not thinking of here that that info might bring to light.
I will do that in the next few days, when I am caught up enough to take time to learn how to use those commands. I am told by Chuck McKinnis that Jan has been seen on his DFSee support forum recently, so I have to check to find out why he hasn't responded to my request for analysis of my DFSDISK files. When/if I get any results, I will show them to you as well. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
