Re: DS10: "failed to load execlet"?



From: winston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Alan Winston - SSRL Central Computing)

The CD drive reports itself as CD-224E 9.9A and looks like the OEM
drive.

Teac, or was it as reticent/vague-about-details as you?

I can't really tell easily. The faceplate matches the battleship-gray box of
the DS10. The drive is in a cage (with two other drives) which I don't see how
to remove, and I can't see any details on the CD. I'm way more of a software
person than a hardware person.

Around here, ">>>SHOW DEVICE" reveals things like the maker:

dqa0.0.0.107.0 DQA0 SONY DVD RW AW-Q170A 1.73

I'll see if someone around here has a SCSI drive.

Or break up an old PC and extract its IDE drive. It's just that if
you have one, an external drive can be easier to attach.

The more I think about it, the more I think that it's probably a
total loss. I'll pay the shipping if you want to shed the thing.

I think I detect irony.

Nah. I'm always sincere.
