The Jumpers in the Artic215 cards were easy enough to manipulate. Sometimes they are difficult to set in a few of the hard drives. I remember my first hard drive, it had a slide switch for the different drive settings. I wish they all could be like that.

I don't mind the jumpers. In fact, I prefer them to the plug and pray that windows uses, since I can tell the cards where they should be looking for their configuration, and not leaving it up to a buggy os to find them for me. I've had too many plug and play devices that weren't. I can't stand them. I currently have a motherboard that has a network port on it that I can't use, because there's no drivers for this board for xp. If this was a jumpered board, I could simply set it up the board the way I wanted, then tell the os to go do it's thing, and there'd be no conflict. This way, if you don't have a driver, you don't have a device, regardless of how much you paid for it. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
