OpticBook 3600 driver updates and patches

ronald arthur dewhirst

The OpticBook 3600 is great for scanning books and getting right to the inner edge of the page and works OK on other tasks too but there can be problems with the software provided, or working with newer operating systems.

Linux compatablity

ibme

Is there an easy way to determine if a motherboard is linux compatable? For instance looking at the chipset. As an example the ASUS Prime A320m-A is on the ASUS Linux Status Report ( ) which I assume means the board is compatable.

USB Device Not Recognized (External Hard Drive)

pearye

Well, here's my problem: I just bought a Western Digital 60gb Passport II 2. 5 Hard Drive this past week at Black Friday. Took it home, worked wonderfully. It was formatted as FAT32, so I reformatted it to NTFS, still no problems.

Short version - how do I get a wrapper set up for Asheron's Call with my Voodoo2 card? Long - I've got an older 440FX computer that I'm donating soon, but am waiting for the new Intel 815's to come out before I upgrade.

Building a new PC: how EXACTLY to install USB mouse?

packman

Yup, I'm building a new Windows XP desktop machine, transferring across one or two bits of the hardware from the old (10 yrs vintage) machine. The mouse I use is essentially a USB wired mouse with a PS2 adaptor, so that at present it plugs into the reserved PS2 mouse port on the current (old) machine.

help removing a virtual cd drive

awbarnes

I should have done this a long time ago. I had a family member use a version of Deamon tools to create a virtual cdrom drive on my PC to allow a game to be played my mult users in a home network. In doing so he bypassed my actual cd/dvd/rw drive.
