IR causes beeping in Compaq Armada 7800

JFK

Hi people, I got a Compaq Armada with an Armadastation running Windows 2000 Professional. Everytime, when I plug my notebook into the station, the station begins to beep. If I disable the IR port, the beeping stops.

Upgrade time

LM

It's time to upgrade my mobo/cpu, right now I have a PII 266 with 192 MB of ram. I'm considering dual Celerons around 500 Mhz or an Athlon system around 700-800 Mhz. I still use Win98 for a few programs.

Any good cheap SCSI card recommendations?

CooMarlin

My Advansys ABP 5140 ISA card will not function properly in Win2K. I'd like to replace it with a Win2K compatable PCI SCSI card. The only thing I need it for is my Panasonic CD Burner so I definately want to do it as cheaply as possible.

Dynamic Media Front

Win2k, Abit BE6-II & ATA-66

BladeRunner

Hi people, OK, up until thirty minutes ago I had a fully functioning Win2k installation. I still do to a degree. I have just replaced my old motherboard with an Abit BE6-II. This part of the installation went OK, Win2k detected all the new hardware devices and runs fine.

Tim Bazzinett

After going round and round trying to get any version after 3. 66 working and ending up in black screen, I finally tried something in the bios. I just set everything to the default setting and just redid the processor settings and disabled the serial ports (using ps2 for now).
