I have a single, double-sided cartridge DVD-RAM which I would like to have copied onto DVD+Rs.   I created it using a Mac at RIT, but I'm not sure what filesystem is on it.  Is there anyone reading this who has access to a DVD-RAM drive and would be willing to do the copy for me?  I know I've asked a few of you this question over the years, but the ( Read more... )

Update: HA! I knew I recognized it... It was Track #7 ('blur') off of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. II... It took awhile for me to grind on it and finally remember what song ( Read more... )

I am thinking of replacing my motherboard. The USB on it is damn near completely non-functional, and the addon USB card I purchased to try and make up for the fact that my motherboard's USB support eats it isn't much better. I can't even get my Logitech Mouseman Optical to work on the onboard ports, and when I have it connected to the add-on ( Read more... )
