Aug 21 05:48:28 there are some radio shack order numbers and stuff on the wiki, but thats not really useful for me Aug 21 06:15:03 <_snow1> what usb2 HD should i choose to make this as little sound as possible? Aug 21 06:52:20 bas, you still here? Aug 21 06:55:08 _snow1, it's not going to make much noise anyways, but look for drives that say they "silent" or something similar.... or... just use a big flash drive Aug 21 06:57:26 personally, I've been using Hitachi's and Samsung's in Bytecc ME-740U2 cases. Aug 21 06:59:13 ByronT-Away: yep, I'm here Aug 21 06:59:54 _snow1: some external drives don't spin down when inactive Aug 21 06:59:54 as far as serial cables go, what you want to look for are computer <-> cellphone data cables Aug 21 07:00:26 it just so happens that FutureDial made a bunch of cables for Radio Shack Aug 21 07:00:44 that said, I've got extra serial cables Aug 21 07:00:55 right now 8 or 9 extras.... Aug 21 07:01:26 you are planning to make a beowulf cluster of slugs or something like that? Aug 21 07:01:41 specifically in terms of a cable - you want one that incoporates a PL-2303 chip... Aug 21 07:03:54 I have purchased about 6-8 NSLU2s, but only 3 are mine and mine are ProdSlug, FrankenSlug, and Test/Naked Slug Aug 21 07:04:20 a-ha Aug 21 07:04:43 ok the pl-2303 is an important factor i'm writing that down somewhere Aug 21 07:05:19 only reason i'm interested in having a serial port is for putting debian on my slug. what kind of things are you using it for? Aug 21 07:05:30 you have a PayPal account? I could sell you one of my extras Aug 21 07:07:56 serial just means that you can do just about anything to the setup / firmware (with the exception of screwing up the bootloader) and still recover **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 22 02:59:56 2005
