While traditional computer systems typically use hard disk drives for storage of data and programs, solid-state systems instead rely on devices without moving parts. The solid-state advantage is the decreased chance of hardware failure, especially in harsh environments. Solid-state systems can be constructed by substituting flash memory for hard disks.

Most laptops now use lithium ion (LiIon) batteries. LiIons should be managed differently from the NiCad or NiMH batteries used in older laptops. In particular, LiIons should not be run all the way down to prevent "memory effect". First, they don't have a memory effect, and second, running them down tends to reduce their capacity. If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place. See similar questions...

If you decide on an IDE-CompactFlash adapter plus CompactFlash card solution, you will need to choose the correct adapter. Logic Supply carries a range of adapters allowing customers to use CompactFlash cards to create solid-state systems. (See Accessories.) Casetronic cases require specific adapters. Other cases will take the 2G, the 1E, or the 5H. The 2G mounts in place of a notebook HD. (Note: to use the 2G, you will need a Notebook HD to IDE Converter (2.5" to 3.5"). See similar questions...

The nc200* image that is used with the LANforge appliance can also boot from a USB storage device on many machines. Assuming your hardware is supported, this is a good way to try out LANforge without having to install Linux from scratch. Unless your machine has exactly 4 ethernet interfaces, you will must reconfigure LANforge to be aware of your network cards once the system has booted. All changes will be saved through reboots (using the USB disk as storage. See similar questions...

No. This would require Apple System Software, involving issues similar to those mentioned above for ROM images. Except that System Software may be downloaded freely from Apple. Maybe someday. The next computer that I plan to emulate is the Mac II, which has color. (See bounties) Meanwhile, you could try Basilisk II. It might be possible to hack the ROM of the Mac Plus to support larger screen sizes. See similar questions...

If users want to make a bootable Flash memory disk, make sure the computers you are using can support boot with USB Removable Disk (it can be seen in the BIOS settings). Users can then use the software in a CD or download the software from the A-DATA website http://www.adata.com.tw/adata_en/support.php?DriverType=driver to make the Flash disk a bootable one.

None! Do not use any option in your burning software to make the CD bootable. Just burn the ISO as an image, this will put all of the proper files on the CD in the proper locations and the resulting CD will be a perfect copy of the original Knoppix CD and will be bootable. If you take any option that makes a bootable CD, you will end up with a CD that does not boot into Linux/Knoppix. See similar questions...

These instructions are intended for users who do not have a built-in floppy drive in the machine being used to run the LANforge bootable CD-ROM. The USB floppy drive should already have a disk in it with a license.txt file that you obtained from sales@candelatech.com. Insert the Universal Host Controller Interface Host Controller Driver kernel module: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18.2/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko Copy the license. See similar questions...

Canon recommends and supports the PowerShot cameras only with it's own cards, however some other CompactFlash cards do indeed work. CAUTION: Not all CompactFlash cards are equal, the variations in read/write speeds is one factor, also consider the different power consumptions. We have even heard of 5volt and 3.3volt cards, though the standard covers both in the same card. For example we have successfully tried a 45MB Sandisk card in a PowerShot 600, and a PowerShot A5.

Yes, you can copy a picture from the Frame to a COMPACTFLASH Card. However, the picture will be copied to the COMPACTFLASH card with 640 x 480 resolution even if it originally had a higher resolution. See below. Although the frame has internal storage for up to 36 VGA (640 x 480) pictures in the JPEG (.jpg) file format, if higher-resolution pictures are uploaded to the Frame, they are compressed to 640 x 480 for display on the Frame.

The CompactFlash Association (CFA) was established in 1995, as a non-profit, mutually beneficial industry association. The CFA's premise is that CompactFlash technology will result in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small, lightweight, low-powered mobile products that will significantly increase the productivity and enhance the lifestyle of millions of people.

I have three different kinds of houses at my site, wooden houses, plastic and natural gourds and I can honestly say this. The martins seem to prefer the large, white natural gourds first and then they select the other two types of houses second. But this is in my area, martins in your area may prefer something different. And as for aluminum houses that seem to have problems attracting martins, I do know that hanging 4 large natural gourds under them will help attract them faster. See similar questions...

If you are making a "Modification", you are required to. If you are contributing new code and not a modification to existing code, then the choice between the NPL and another license, such as the MozPL, is up to you.
