Can you ID this hardware?

adamvjackson
I got this drive free after a cleaning of a server room: These are the discs for it: From what I found, this drive was really only released to east markets. A google search for the model number returned only 3 hits, and 2 sites were in an asian language.

Any Hardware install on W2K SP3

Steve Martz
I have tried to install 2 different nic's (Belkin F5D5000 and a Linksys LNE100TX) and a Cisco PC350 Airnet card in a WIN2K SP3 machine with no luck. Each time I receive a message that the driver data is invalid or not of the expected type.

The events were in this order: I removed 2 cards and added 1. I went into add/remove hardware (which I never used in 2k before) to delete/remove instances of these cards. Entries other than what I clicked on got removed.

HELLBRINGER
Hi there, I am having some issues attempting to get a secondary video card to work in Windows XP. I have tried several video cards that I own. My only successful card was a Voodoo 3. But I'd prefer to keep that in my other machine for LAN parties.

Overclock?

Iceburg
I have an intel 850 board with an intel 1. 5 Ghz processer and there are no overclocking options in the bios, does this mean that it can not be done? -Nick.
