Frequently Asked Questions

Can you provide a bootable disk image?

Mini vMac FAQ
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.

How much RAM do I need? Is it possible to use disk memory at all?

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
I'm trying to populate a Cluster database. The loading process terminates prematurely and I get an error message like this one: ERROR 1114: The table 'my_cluster_table' is full

How to use USB flash memory?

MTU Department of Computer Science
Plug in the USB into the box. An icon pops up at the desktop indicating the USB flash memory. The mount point is /mnt/usb. Remember to unmount after you are done. To unmount right click the usb icon and select unmount or use the command umount /mnt/usb at the shell prompt. Remember to close all the windows accessing the flash before unmount. If you are using the command line be sure to cd to another directory before issuing the umount command.

How much disk space and memory is required ?

GMT - Frequently Asked GMT Questions
Disk space: GMT contains some 100,000 lines of code. On a Linux workstation the executables take up about 15-50 Mb depending on use of shared libraries. In addition there are support data such as GSHHS coastlines, rivers, and political boundaries. The default distribution of these data includes intermediate, low and crude resolution versions which together takes up another 5 Mb of space. These are sufficient for most regional map applications.

Is it safe to use R-Studio? Can it destroy data on disk?

R-TT - FAQ
R-Studio may write to disk only from hex editor (with enabled write) or when it is explicitly directed to save files on this disk. Therefore, you should be very carefully using hex editor. In all other modes and actions, R-Studio performs a read-only and never modifies data on partitions and drives directly. Open partition, which contains your files or explore all of them if you are not sure about choice of correct partition.

I want to make my USB flash drive bootable, what steps are required for this process?

Removable Media Recovery Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
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.

Question: Do I have to use NorthEast Monitoring flash/memory cards in the recorder?

Welcome to NorthEast
Answer: Flashcards from other vendors may be used in the recorders, however, because some card manufacturers provide memory cards which draw too much battery current, some cards may cause the batteries to be depleted prematurely resulting in the Holter stopping early. Because of this, we recommend that you first test cards purchased from another vendor for a greater amount of time than the expected use.

How much Flash memory is available for application use?

MityDSP Frequently Asked Questions
With the standard MityDSP, approximately 1.5MB of flash memory is available for application image and data storage.

What if I Only Have an Image of the Bootable Partition and Not the Entire Disk?

Live View - FAQ
No problem. Live View will automatically detect this and build a Master Boot Record for your partition allowing it to boot. Yes, simply select all of the chunks in the browse dialog by using Ctrl + Click. Live View sorts the chunks by their file extensions so be sure that the chunks have either numerically or alphabetically ordered file extensions. Yes, there is full support for the primary operating system on the machine and partial support for the secondary operating system.

What should I use if I want bootable CompactFlash?

Logic Supply - Frequently Asked Questions
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.

How can I save map data on the hard disk and make use of it?

EADS N.V. - FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
First, create a folder on the hard drive e.g. “D:\Data\Top50”, then copy the entire content of the CD. If you have not yet installed the program, start Setup from the CD and follow the instructions there. The Geogrid Logo appears and a message is displayed alerting you to the fact that the map drive was not found. Now open the item “Directories” in the “Settings” menu and add the new pathway (e.g. D:\Daten\Top50).

Q 2p-03: How much memory and disk space is required for DCE services?

DCE Frequently Asked Questions
According to a paper present by Dan Hamel of Transarc, at the Decorum conference in February 1994, the following can be used as rough guidelines: end-user machines: Each dce_login creates new credential files, which can build up. Space usage can range from less than 1k to over 100k. The security server as shipped by the Open Group keeps all security registry information resident in main memory, which means that the security host machine needs memory as well as disk.

What is flash memory?

HP49G FAQ
Flash memory, or flash ROM, is a non-volatile storage medium. Flash can be read just like normal ROM, at about the same speed with about the same power consumption, but it can also be written to. Writing takes much higher power consumption and is relatively slow, so it is not practical for main system memory. The HP49 has 2MB of flash memory. The first megabyte is used by the system for the ROM (the internal system software). This means that the ROM can be upgraded as bugs are found and fixed.

Can I use any brand other than SanDisk Compact Flash disk?

FAQs : Single & Dual Frequency GPS, GPS Accuracy: NovAtel In...
The PCMCIA timings that are programmed into the OEM4 firmware are based off of specs in the SanDisk Compact Flash specification document.

Can I use the built-in flash and an external flash simultaneously?

Evolt E-300 Digital SLR Camera > Frequently Asked Question...
The FL-50 flash can be connected with the E-300 camera through flash power grip: FP-1 and flash cable: FL-CB05. Only Auto and Manual mode can be set in the concurrent use of FL-40 and the built-in flash. (For their specification design, E-300 and FL-40 can not communicate in TTL Auto and R-TTL Auto modes.)

How much memory should rdiff-backup use? Is there a memory leak?

rdiff-backup FAQ
The amount of memory rdiff-backup uses should not depend much on the size of directories being processed. Keeping track of hard links may use up memory, so if you have, say, hundreds of thousands of files hard linked together, rdiff-backup may need tens of MB. If rdiff-backup seems to be leaking memory, it is probably because it is using an early version of librsync. librsync 0.9.5 leaks lots of memory. Later versions should not leak and are available from the librsync homepage.

How long will tape, disk, CD data last?

S-100 FAQ
This subject comes up every time some CP/M archive on the Web vanishes, or there is some discussion of data media. Of course some CP/M original media is 20 years or more old, so it is relevant. The issue in many cases is not the degration of the media, but loss of old technology and software to READ the media. A reasonable strategy is to copy data to "current" media every few years to avoid both media damage and obsolscence.
