A non-traditional use of LM431

??? The hits i get for that mentioned it is required for recording DJ mixes on your laptop. 1) am not into doing mixes of any type, 2) no laptop, 3) what the heck does that have to do with browsing on the internet? My machine is a bit faster and the OS i use for internet is Win98SE, but i totally *ripped* IE and OE out of the system. I use NetScape 7.2 for my browser.

Suggestions as what i should look for (no config file that i know of); use NetScape 7.2.

Also, it would not hurt to look carefully at all of the larger electrolytics near the CPU..for brown crap on the tops. I had to toss my old MB and was lucky enough to find some NIB boards (one rev newer in design) for replacement. Added large value chip caps in parallel with each and every large cap near the CPU to keep the di/dt stess down and maybe increase the electrolytic life.

The driver hands.sys is a figure of speech. It means that you should blame on your own clumsy hands :)

Totally ripped off, including all of the associated dlls and the registry records? This very well could be the reason.

You might need to install the latest JVM from Sun. NN doesn't have the JVM of its own.

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird, not IE, and it works for me.

No idea, but maybe try Firefox. I have no IE or Netscape anymore, all dumped.

Nope, Mozilla Firefox.

Nope, turned Java off and it still loads just fine.

When i looked at your page i felt that it was somehow similar to Dallas Semiconductor's "One-wire"(TM) system. A look at patent No.

5809518 shows some conceptual similarities but your design might be infringing on some underlying patent. Slick circuit though.

Personally i prefer Firefox. It works well on Linux, OS-X (BSD derivative), XP, and my older machines Win98SE.

*Cannot* do that. About 7/8 of the way thru (if the "progress bar" has any real meaning) it hangs for power off reset. Remember, i am on dial-up and such a long-winded (7+megs) download is dicey and subject to AFU; the 13+meg "offline" method is worse. Betcha a CD is not available. BTW, i *do* have Java installed; on rare occasions i have seen the logo show with my AVG, sound and interconnect icons. The rev is a bit dated: 1.4.1_02 to be specific.

Well, there must be some kind of fiddle; there are very few sites that are what i call "browser hostile", and a small subset of those totally freeze my computer.

Well, i installed Firefox and it also is subject to the same BS via browser hostile code. Doing the "verify Java" part results in a totally hung computer, needing power off reset. Firefox was worse in that it almost instantly hung, whereas NS7.2 stayed alive for a little while.. Maybe AVG is smart enough to protect the system from fiddling?

Robert, i will make a CD for you. I need a specific list of the free only downloads you want and a mailing address. If you know what you are about you can email me.

Hmm, why is it that it worked here with Java turned off?
