Vista Networking Issue/Fix

Interested Techies/OS Junkies...

As originally reported at SlashDot, the problem, and a fix.

Fusion's iodrive


This new device (pics), a "PCI Express card with a controller and NAND flash chips," uses a PCI connection to attain super-fast transfer speeds (800 megabytes per second read and 600 MB/sec write) to a solid state (no moving parts )stroage medium. They're introducing it at 80GB, but will scale to 320 and 640 GB next year. I want one!

Virtual Slide Rule

This could be a fun little teaching tool for PC Service Camp, a virtual slide rule. it's just like the real thing, only digital!
