680x0's Journal: Server Update

Well, to keep you up to date: I got a WD 80GB drive for our server, and a NEC DVD+/-RW drive, from Advanced 2000, a local (to DC) computer store. It turns out the WD 80GB drive is the same as the one in my main home workstation (WD800BB). So, I'm comfortable that it will work fine. And I did manage to restore almost all files from the old drive.

The NEC DVD drive works with the Linux dvdrecord command. However, so far, I haven't been able to read the discs I created with DVD-RW media on either of the two other computers I use which have DVD-ROM drives. I'll try DVD+RW, and if that does not work, DVD-R and then DVD+R...
