Iv alot of reading to do so I wont ask more questians ATM

But I have a null cable! how do I know if its the right 1

[bamjames]

Ok instead of having the images in the box could I have them all on a few SD cards and boot them as needed

would there be a bit of setting up or will the images work like the last time they were in the box
Plug in and play essentially!

the above statement went down da drain

If the SD card on Ebay says its not compatible with Linux would it work with the TM

and does it have to be for some advice in particular
micro or ordinary size!

In fact why dont you just pick out a good cheap 1 4 me

I always use the Sandisk ones, never had a problem with them

I've also used Samsung, Kingston and Lexar ones with no problems

The Sandisk Ultra ones work very well too

Try ebay item no 220327351587 or 260334100071

I normally only ever used the 512mb ones as i've never come anywhere close to filling one up

OK I bought 2 1gb Sandisk cards,(the first ebay item you gave!)

thanks 4 your help mate
If you think I have alot of questians wait till Christmas morn!

Hi Nano
My PC don't have the right Null cable port
So would a USB to RS-232 do the Job? like this ebay 390017074558 or 120348974363
the second 1 looks better!

Nd I noticed that the technomate 9100 super is not on your signature anymore!any reason for that,is it sold?

[nanochickin]

Those usb to RS232 leads never work right, you will probably end up knackering your box up if use one

I just don't trust them at all

I use a dedicated serial card in my PC. Never had a problem with it.

Something like ebay item no 230315187846 will do the trick

It will be sold after Christmas to my mate along with a new motorised install, Got myself a Dreambox 7000 to play with as a replacement for it.

The TM9100 is a good receiver but its just got too many idiosyncrasies for my liking, i prefer my Dreamboxes in all honesty

Thanks for the advice on the USB things
Realistically Do I need the Null cable or would I manage without it (with luck I wont fook up me box, but You never know)

Could I install 1 of those card thing on the PC,Or maby the Laptop Cause I dont mind If I fook It up cause I only ever play chess on it

I hope the Prick don't end up on eBay!
