I've been running the Samsung drivers with a USB-connected ML-2510 on Puppy for a very long time, quite successfully. A couple of days ago I found a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server for $10 at the Goodwill, thought it would be nice to share the Samsung with the three Windows PCs in the house as...

Re: MaxSpeed MaxBook 810

Hey chicks, This is an interesting looking machine. Do you have a make and model on it or know if its available anywhere? Sully It was made for Maxspeed, who were bought out by Neoware, who were bought out by HP. Model 810, I think there was an 820 also. It's pretty obsolete. 1Ghz Via CPU, 256Mb RA...

Both my Puppy machines are thin clients (one a NetBook). Both boot from 4GB CompactFlash drives, no mechanical drives in either. Only thing that's ever corrupted on power loss is browser bookmarks.

MaxSpeed MaxBook 810

This was one of the original "NetBooks", from about 2003. Targeted at corporate users, it lacks a hard drive, boots from an internally-mounted Compact Flash drive. I've been running Puppy 3.x on it for a few years, just updated to 4.3.1 - it found everything, including the CompactFlash slo...

Optical Audio

I've been running Puppy 3.x on an old MaxSpeed MaxBook 810 for a long time. The CF slot on the left side never worked b4, works great now, giving another option for storage! I noticed at bootup that it was recognizing and initializing the optical output that I had never used. It shares the 3.5mm hea...

Google Chrome

So, I made the mistake last week of letting Firefox update to ver. 3.0 on my Puppy thin clients, which run on compact flash drives. Immediately noticed things were much slower, then noticed that the drive light was staying on all the time, indicating lots of disk activity. Not such a good thing on f...

Any idea how much access to the HD/SDD Puppy does.
If you do the Flash Drive install, it runs entirely in RAM, and minimizes disk I/O.

I've been running Puppy on CF drives for over two years, there's really no issue whatsoever...

This topic was recently discussed in another forum. You should get between 10 and 100 years' life running Puppy on a flash drive :) The flash drive will probably outlast your PC.

I just removed the two back-panel screws, and the entire panel+motherboard slid out from the back. Then just two cables to the front panel to disconnect to fully remove the assembly from the case.

Most removable flash media has an embedded microcontroller. This enables SD, CompactFlash, and USB thumb drives to be formatted using the familiar FAT file system that Microsoft developed for MS-DOS.
