Writing a driver to spoof PCI Subsystem Data of an Audigy card

When looking for a way to extract dolby digital info from my SB live! player, I came across a site that mentioned that by reprogramming the eeprom they could fool the drivers into beleaving it was a different SB live version. To reprogram the eeprom they used another (network?)card. Do a search...

Hush Technology new cool ultra SFF PC

First of all, I dont see why you would want to pay extra for a case with a sleeky design and then put it under your car seat? As for mini-ITX in general: Most ITX cases come with a DC-DC convertor using an external AC/DC adaptor. The Molex 55W power supply is used in quite a lot of cases, and...

Does an AM/FM radio really cause interference on airplanes?

yellowfiero You're statement about the PLL is not quite correct. The PLL is use for FM-demodulation. It synchronises on the 19 kHz CW to extract the 38 kHz carrier wave for the stereo info. The internal VCO follows the frequency modulated signal, resulting in the demodulated signal at the VCO...

Can you network using USB 2.0 between a desktop and a laptop ?

It is possible to do a peer-to-peer connection using a USB connection, without the need for transferring over ethernet. (like the null-modems in the old days). This is an example for an USB 1.1 connection. Should be available in USB 2.0 (couldn't find it at Belkin) Belkin direct connect...

Spectrum Analyzer; Is this even possible

hakadate, This indeed is a misuse of the term spectrum analyser. What he's pointing to is the graphical indication of the frequencies of an audio signal. These incorporate only a discrete set of frequencies. A real spectrum analyser sweeps a range of frequencies and determines there relative...

Caps v. Batteries

If you had two of them, you could do the following: Discharge one of them, then connect it to the (fully charged) other (parallel to it). Monitor the voltage across. If it stays about the same, both are batteries. if the voltage drops to about half, both are cap's. (internal impedance of a...

Dispersing light through a polymer

Simple geometrical optics makes this impossible. If you just need it to produce light (as for eye-candy), you might wanna try to makes some grooves at the bottom of the plastic. When the light hits the grooves from above, it MIGHT get scattered and MIGHT propagate through the rest of the...

is virtual SAN in SME's possible using 100B/T Eth and Software and distributed HDD's on a SME's computers?

Use an (old) computer as dedicated file server. Less hassle and more reliability (compared to virtual SAN on generic SME's computers). Menel.

Running CPU type processes on GPUs?

@400$ a card??? Overhead will be to large IMHO. GPU's are still quite a bit different from CPU's. And besides, I think you would need an OS hack. Menel.

Complicated Idea for Car Jukebox

LCD wiring is not standard, and even different for different types of laptops from the same manuf. If your lucky you'll find someone around the net that has done it before for your thinkpad, else you can try to do it yourself. If you dont wanna do that, but still want the fun, buy a small LCD...

CAT5 and induced voltage from lightening- is it possible?

Check out this link: EN61000-4-5 surge testing Read the part in section 3.1 underneath figure 3A: "For example, surge testing ... their overhead line". The voltage level for signal wires (as in CAT5) should be less, but you get the point. IIRC their are filters available for RJ45 ports, sorta...
