I would hate to see the PRO disappear. GTA:
I urge you to consider switching to one of the following solutions for the PRO: Hard Drive, ZIP drive, LS-120 Drive, or a combo of CD-ROM and floppy. You can have the mgmt. software (GBadmin) create an ISO file that can be used to burn a CR-ROM with 98% of all system needs, and use the floppy drive for all dynamic data needs. This should extend the life of the PRO for many years. Joe, Correct me if I am wrong... The PRO is not tied to any hardware, unlike the flash. If the PRO dies, you go to your local PC vendor (or your junk parts bin) get the parts you need and you are back up and running. No need for spare, proprietary hardware, again unlike the flash. If the flash fries, you are dead in the water. I know of this actually happening. This is especially dangerous in areas of high electrical storm activity (Texas, and the eastern states). I have seen entire systems burn, despite the use of very expensive power management solutions. For those of you not aware of this: Most surge suppression units are good for a limited amount of hits, based on power and duration of spike. I know, because I used to help design this equipment for the Power utilities industry -really boring stuff. I replace all surge suppression devices annually (my policy). Sorry for the long email.

Thats what I say about the GBflash :-) Joe Matuscak Rohrer Corporation 717 Seville Road Wadsworth, Ohio 44281 (330)335-1541 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive of the last 1000 messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
