I'm having problems with my develop machine. It sometimes crashed for no reason... giving memory problems. This might mean that I can't develop qbinux for about one month a half. Around midth October I hope to have my Pentium I 120 Mhz up and running. The only problem is that I will be restricted to a 40 MB (Yeah MB) drive, meaning that I can't do mayor stuff until I have another hard drive.
Until further notice...

Develop machine
I know why you're here. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer...<br>
Unfortunately, no one can be told what Qbinux is. You have to see it for yourself.

Re: Develop machine
Does your development machine have an USB port? If it does, maybe you can use a memory stick of say 128 or 256 MB as auxiliary storage in the meantime.SebMcClouth wrote:I'm having problems with my develop machine.

I only wish it had. I do have a pc-card modem/networkcard/firewire but I don't have a network set up yet.
It's a real old laptop as you can see here:

Seb,
How about an Iomega Zip Drive? They used to be very popular but now hardly anybody uses them. Maybe one of your friends still has one that he's not using and maybe you could borrow it or buy it very cheap. If I recall they used to sell for about $179. First check if you can still buy the disk cartridges.
I just checked
www.iomega.com
and it looks like they're still selling the devices and cartridges.
You'll also need the diskette with the original TSR software to drive the device, and the software must match the device version. The simplest version hooked up to the parallel port and each cartridge had a capacity of 100 MB, and cost about $7. I still use one for backups.
