I use a 32 GB Transcend PATA SSD in my Win98 system. It's basically transparent to the system and provides the performance benefits of being solid state instead of spinning drive. They come in larger sizes though they get pricey for that. https://us.transcend-info.com/embedded/product/embedded-ssd- …

I had a similar eBay experience a few months ago. I bought a used monitor, described in perfect condition. It showed up with a gouge in the screen. The seller accused me of lying to get a fraudulent return and threatened legal action in an unhinged reply. I escalated to eBay for a return, got my …

That Thrustmaster T2 is lovely. I had a similar Thrustmaster kit around from around that time, although I remember the steering wheel base being curved, and flatter, and the wheel was smaller I think. They made such great kit. Would love to find another one. Lots of good memories playing Grand Prix …

If Ghost is working, then I'd be concerned about the security of your NAS as that means it's accepting SMB1 connections, which are extremely insecure. That’s fair, but it’s not exposed to the public internet. Someone would have to get inside the network first another way. I’m not sure how much I …

I enabled my SMB logs and checked them and the Norton Ghost 2003 DOS client was failing to negotiate an acceptable protocol. To my surprise, "min protocol = LANMAN2" in the SMB server extra settings fixes it. You would think Ghost could have reported a meaningful error for this situation. It's now …

I will try this. Is there a specific version of Clonezilla that works best for a Pentium 3? I don't recall the exact version I'm running now but it's somewhere in the 2.6 series. Honestly I'd just grab the current version and see if that does okay.

For the most part there is negligible performance difference, though I have had some inconsistent frame pacing issues in the past. The easiest way to verify is to change volume and see if the Windows on-screen volume notifications appears.

The reason I ask is because electric vehicles are said to be much heavier then gas cars. Hence they're prone to wear tires out faster. Within the scope of passenger cars, car weight has little impact on tire wear. More important are tread rating (how soft is the tire), driving habits and proper …
