Re: Fred builds his first PC
It doesn't say above, and I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure this is the board I got for it: Intel BOXD945GCLF2 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/42491/intel-desktop-board-d945gclf2.html If so, 2 gig RAM was already maxed out :-D I wonder if modern SATA SSDs are even compatibl...

Re: Fred builds his first PC
I still have this, pretty funny reading the specs. Should chuck a small SSD in it, see if I can fit more RAM to it and give it a new lease on life :-D Poor little thing never got much use, basically brand new still.

Re: NAS Upgrade Plans and other notes
Updates! :-D Desktop USB drive failed clickity click a week or two ago. I bought a WD Red Plus 4TB and put it in the seagate case and it initially worked, then failed outright and I couldn't read anything off it at all. Buggered, returned after sitting a powerful magnet on it overnight twice on two ...

Re: New Workstation Build For Winter
Booted to rescue mode, decrypted the disk (keyboard worked fine) and did a bunch of updates, kernel, xserver-xorg HWE versions (16.04) and so forth and voila back to normal, but quiet and super fast. Can easily play 4k (11% CPU, <80C CPU temp) vs unable to play (100% CPU, 100C CPU temp) before and l...

Re: New Workstation Build For Winter
Well, the 9th gen i9 octa core nuc ghost canyon arrived today! They spent a few hundred on the packaging, ha ha, oh well, gamer marketing machine. Popped the two SSDs from the 6th gen i7 quad core nuc in and the 2400 RAM from the old nuc, too, and booted right up into a skull and the decrypt volume ...

Re: 2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF
I should read your post entirely before I hit submit! :-D Re cam phase, they'll be software detecting it. You can't do wasted spark on odd numbers of cylinders so you have to know where you are. Maybe they fire and see what happens and then set it in software ah la "we're here!" or somethi...

Re: 2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF
Re VR, the rising and falling edges are so far apart that you get independent wave forms from an effectively reset state as the magnetic flux has gone in between. The distance between rising and falling zero crossings probably isn't particularly consistent because the real zero crossing is in the mi...

Re: 2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF
Gidday, good to see some activity here! :-D Re your assertions about the single tooth trigger, I would assert that you're wrong about that. It appears to be VR which has a few implications but the first issue and biggest is unrelated: In a single cylinder 4 stroke engine you can only really reliably...

Re: New Workstation Build For Winter
This machine met an untimely end today! :-( Sequence of events: 1. Electrician came earlier in the week and replaced the switch board with a modern one - power was out most of the day 2. I ignored the desktop machine for a couple of days because busy with work - didn't think anything of it 3. Today ...

Re: Downtime and Upgrades
And success there, too. Glad that was easy. Glad I procrastinated as last time I checked there were VM incompatibilities. Seems like they have improved their stack. Plenty of disk headroom now.
