| 1281368 | 2012-06-13 21:21:00 | ATA origionally was used to describe the parallel (IDE) interface. When SATA came along, PATA replaced ATA to avoid confusion. Nowadays, ATA is used to describe a VOIP device - Analog Telephone Adaptor ! :-) | wuppo (41) | ||
| 1281369 | 2012-06-14 00:59:00 | ATA originally was used to describe the parallel (IDE) interface. :-) Bugger! You've blown my cover Wuppo :D Only people nearly as old as dirt still call IDE 'ATA', and there I was thinking I was a rather late starter and was patting myself on the back for avoiding the 286 and 386 by kicking off with with a 33 MHz 486 (second-hand) with Kilobytes (not mega) of RAM. Inflation adjusted, that machine cost me twice as much in actual dollar value than my current cutom built computer with 3-something Ghz processor and Gigabytes of RAM. Cheers Billy 8-{) :blush: |

| 1281370 | 2012-06-14 02:23:00 | Hey, I used to use 6146's as 'finals'.... My first floppy disks were 8" (seriously floppy...) storing a mind boggling 241k and cost $10 ea back then. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 1281371 | 2012-06-14 13:28:00 | Well thats good to know. I should have known that as i have used tech much older than that. I got a crazy huge yet scarily small hardrive on my desk with ye ol stepper motor in it, I dont believe it would work and have never seen the pc it came from but it is very effective at being heavy. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1281372 | 2012-06-15 06:55:00 | Hey, I used to use 6146's as 'finals'.... Definitely OT, but....Hey...........MF or VHF?...Amateur or professional. Did you run 7558 drivers? The first 'computer' that my (next) employer had was a word processor that displayed just a couple of lines of text on a red display. After a few years they replaced that with a 'proper' computer system with 8" floppies and a software guru who had to come in regularly to sort out problems. It could do accounts as well as WP if you had the patience. It sat alongside a photocopier that used pink paper that faded real quick, and later on a fax that was so slow that we finally decided that it was the bastard child of a tortoise, :D Cheers Billy 8-{) :waughh: |
