Length Limitations of SSID on various OSes

I have seen information stating SSID length limitations are 1-32 characters, alphanumeric characters only (no spaces, dashes, or underscores, right?) What I'm intersted in is whether there are limitations on a OS basis (*nix, Mac OS 8/9, OSX 10.x, Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP, etc) on a client...

Trying to find 4-pin SPDIF bracket/header (coax out)

I have an ECS K8M800-M2 motherboard and am having the damnedest time tracking down a compatible 4-pin SPDIF coax-out bracket. My first purchase was a 3-pin (didn't give specs, so for $2 I took my chances). Doesn't help much, obviously. The wire config on the mobo is: Pin Signal...

Converting 6-ch (3 x 1/8") to Coax RCA possible?

Hmm, let me be more specific, because it appears I probably misspoke about the configuration of this board (sorry, was in a rush, and really only thinking clearly about my old setup... which is probably similar to the new one, except the new mobo lacks the riser card with spdif coax out). The...

Converting 6-ch (3 x 1/8") to Coax RCA possible?

I currently have a digital coax (RCA type connector) line running between my computer and amp/receiver. This is an older Nforce2 setup with the riser card that allowed for 6 channel outputs, with one of the connectors being a digital coax line-out. I have a newer system that has 6 channel...

RAID 5 MB to support 4 x 160gb PATA drives?

Cool, so with this and an Nforce2 Ultra 400gb board, looks like I could do RAID 5 w/ my existing drives, for a bit less than a dedicated controller. Appreciate the heads-up.

Used in an ECS K7S5A and MSI Nforce K7N420. Both died in the latter. The new XP 1800 retail I purchased works fine in both boards. I'll check the serials on the new 1800 heatsink and the 1800 itself to see if it jibes with the info above. If so, I may be able to just give them a 4444XXXX...
