Re: reading older disks
Because of of "stickage" it might take more power to spin up, than what the external can deliver. Also, I've had drives that won't spin up, spin up, by placing them sideways, or vertical on it's side.

I can hunt around for another antique machine to try them in, but I would welcome any wisdom you may care to offer. My guess is that the disk has failed. But, I have seen situations where some USB/IDE adaptors work, and some don't. So I would indeed recommend trying another old machine. --=-=-= A bit of a coincidence for two disks to fail and a memory fault to develop all at the same time, while the disk I was copying to was unaffected? -- Steve Blinkhorn

Yahoo, including bellsouth.net, blocks messages that appear to be forwarded from Yahoo servers: overaggressive spam filter. But your domain appears to be falu.nl . Modular xorg in pkgsrc includes twm but not ctwm as far as I know, so I don't get ctwm. I have no /usr/X11R7 or /usr/X11R6 directory. I see Haiku has some stuff for kde and gnome but no X window managers, since Haiku has its own. Tom
