Oh.. I wondered what that was. Don't we have a spare one? (refering to an econet terminator)

 

Yes, the was important. Please don't unplug it again. (802.2 thin ethernet terminator, located at desk height in a maths classroom)

 

If I just set the DIP switches...

 

Has anyone got the latest copy of OFFERS?

 

Oh, that's not thinnet (ethernet) its ZNET.

 

Can you run off 30 copies on the banda machine?

 

Wow. So the lightening strike spot welded shut how many pc cases on that segment?

 

What's your fax number?

Server room/ Network patch frame at the top of a hill.

300m Coax run (through offices, classrooms and between buildings)

40m drop from the server to the last PC

Rapidly changing PD.

I/Os, IRQs, DMA, NMA, COM/LPT assignments, "Soundblaster", calibrating a MIDI joystick for X-Wing(?) every single time, most of the stuff on my 2003ish A+ exam which wasn't even relevant then, clock speeds being an indicator of performance, SCSI version/speed/bit width.

 

And sadly decent X-Wing/TIE Fighter, Freespace type games.

Onboard audio/audio drivers got better, really. It's sufficient for the vast majority of peoples' needs.

They're still trading though, by the looks of it. Sound Blaster Sound Cards, Gaming Headsets, Sound BlasterAxx - Bringing quality audio to computing since 1989 | soundblaster.com

 

It's probably one of those things that audiophiles and music producers can tell the difference, but everyone else probably can't.

Creative Labs also own E-MU who are still quite a big player in pro digital audio.
