    AMD making a fool of Threadripper customers - AGAIN?

    Oh, that's so generous! We should also note socket LGA775. I'm just wondering, did Intel broke any of it's promises?

    Chip Reprogramming Supermicro X11SPI-TF

    Are you going to use a SOIC clip for that? It doesn't work with some MBs and programmers. It may require a license. But check this option first.

    It would be great if you can license mine. However it's not urgent: 24 10G ports is enough for now, but I'd really like to have 40G port licenses.

    Tape drive conversion

    Quantum is rebtanded HP. I have a stand-alone HP drive in msl2024 library, and it shows warning about 'unsupported drive', but library still works.
