As a quick google search only showed rubbish on the first 3 pages searching for usb power switches it would be nice if you could post some links to such products. The ones i use are from Gembird and are called SIS-pm. http://www.gmb.nl/main.asp?mode=itemN=2755 It comes with a simple Linux-Commandline-Tool (including Source) that i patched for my needs. AFAIR on Sourceforge or somewhere else there is another Commandline-Tool. Unfortunatly i can't tell you were to buy them, as i buy mine at my local hardware-wholesaler. Last time i looked they cost 19.90 EUR + VAT per piece. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider what you see is what you get to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.

Sounds like the core computer of the USS-Enterprise - How many Terra-Quads are this? ;-) Actually, according to http://www.kasper-online.de/en/docs/startrek/ncc1701d.htm the Enterprise D has a mere 630.000 Kiloquads. But seriously: My VDR system started out in June 2000 with a 9GB SCSI disk in a 150 MHz PentiumPro system. Disk space has increased a bit since then, but in another 6 years all of that will fit into a single disk and that will not be the largest disk you can buy for a home computer, either. Neither is my VDR system even close to the largest one. I believe that Matthias Schniedermeier has so many disks in his house that the house no longer requires a separate heating system. ;-) Carsten. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

And: 20 disks are twice as much trouble as 10 disks. My older disks have started to fail recently... That's nothing. ;-) I've currently have 36 HDDs with a total capacity of 8,3 TB. 7,4 TB used and 0,9TB free. A projection of about 1TB of missing things and another TB of recordings still on DVDs that i hadn't copied over. (Note to myself: Remember to by a HDD each month for the next 3 month, so that i can finally put the DVD priode behind me.) And above i haven't counted the about 1TB of misc space i have. And most of it i have actually watched, it took a few years to record all of that!

I wonder why their PADDS (used for nothing more than a sophisticated ebook-reader) will need 4 Million Terrabytes of Storage when they can access the core anyway at any time...not even Data can read data that fast ;-) /OT ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
