What happens if you shut it off for half an hour and let it cool down? I've seen Canons get all blocky when they warm up. 3) Try playing the tape back on a Sony. Several times I've been able to read tapes on a Sony camcorder or VTR that wouldn't play in the Canon that recorded them. 4) You didn't use LP, I hope. Right? :-) Cheers, Adam Wilt light package, pros/cons - "Perry" From: Robert Couch The units were fitted up to run 2ft square soft boxes, and the whole outfit, lights, soft boxes and stands was under . The stands work but look like crap. SDRAM Trivia from Hell (not that anyone's listening) - Adam Wilt Well, actually, tech support is right. > Their registered PC133 is not compatible in 440BX PC100 motherboards. Well, *theirs* may not be. But I was trying to correct the impression that *all* PC133 memory was incompatible with PC100/440BX mobos! > ...So for PC100 I guess that'd be 16x8 and for PC133 it's 32x4. Hence my "all else being equal" qualifier. > Maybe there was an errata on the older 440BX that was corrected on > newer 440BX chipsets. An erratum? On an Intel chip? Perish the thought! > Or maybe your memory is 16x8. ( Next time you're in your machine, > maybe you can give us the numbers off those ram chips. ) The DIMMS have 18 chips. The silkscreen on the PCB says "POWMEM ZD128381-B". The sticker on one end says "256MB 16x8 [bingo! -ed] ECC SDR133-6L 34825521 W8081". The chips themselves say: 0120 1-1 MT 48LC16M8A2 TG -75 E with every other chip displaying "0122" on the upper left instead of "0120" So it appears to be the organization at fault in some cases, and success in my case. Most interesting! Rare is the online sales site that lists the memory organization in the specification data -- and my motherboard manual says nothing about it either. So this is definitely one of those "gotchas" that can sneak up and bite one in the rump with great dark teeth. Have you a recommended website handy that discusses memory organization and mobo compatibility issues? [Don't sweat it if you don't; Google can always be used.] Cheers, Adam Wilt (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
