| 00:29.51 | gerrynjr | ChipX86: managed to get beos running on vmware after all, but not operational networking |
| 00:50.33 | Terminator | anybody know how much disk space the 6000L is capable of addressing? e.g. for plugging in external HDDs? |

| 00:50.56 | kergoth | Terminator: its linux. i doubt there's a limitation beyond what linux itself can handle |
| 00:51.58 | Terminator | yeah, I'm thinking it's probably the same as any other Linux-2.4.x kernel compiled for a 32 bit CPU... |
| 00:53.56 | Terminator | come to think of it, yeah, my question was basically based on the assumption of BIOS limits to HDD addressibility size, but since it's the HDD enclosure which deals w/ that and transmits data over USB (making the HDD size limits transparent to the Z, in theory), the only limits really are what the enclosure can handle... |
| 00:54.16 | Terminator | s/transparent/irrelevant/ |
| 00:55.41 | Terminator | anyway, I'm thinking of getting an external USB HDD and mounting it in my car somewhere, to connect to my Z over USB, then connect my Z to my headunit via an aux. input (assuming I can make one for my stock headunit, seeing as my car is still under full warranty) |
| 00:56.42 | Terminator | that way, I could play craploads of MP3/OGGs through my car stereo. It'd be like an iPod -> car connection, but more hackeriffic :) |

| 01:32.52 | subdue | Terminator: the issue I think will be power, more than capacity |
| 01:35.21 | Terminator | yeah, power is definitely the problem, at least, for a mechanical HDD (but then, I'm not going to go for a solid-state HDD, LOL) |
| 01:35.57 | Terminator | for that, the HDD would have to be externally-powered, that way, I could plug in a DC-AC power inverter and run the HDD off that (and additionally, the Z using its AC adapter) |

| 01:47.41 | subdue | maybe an ipod type of using that's self powered might be good |
