Today I attached a 40Gb drive (that I intend to use on the 1500... maybe) on the beast to see if anything 'different' would happen.
And it did.
When it attempted to access the HD, unlike the 2024, this one blinked the drive light instead of it sitting there solid.
I take that as a good sign for the 40Gb and a bad one for the 2024...
:bomb:
But, as before, I will reserve judgement for the time being... I have ordered a couple of IDE(44)-2-IDE(40) adapters to allow me to attach the 2024 directly to IDE...
If it cannot be read/written THAT WAY, then I will not waste any more time on it...
On the power-point...
Although the battery is technically trash, it has gotten to the point where it will store a charge to last about 15 minutes. Not close to the expected life for that battery, but FAR MORE than the 1-5 seconds it did when I first got the charging system 'officially' working! Perhaps I can convince the thing to last an hour...
Uh huh...
