[21:33:23] <rue_shop5> I STILL dont watch tv
[22:23:29] <katsmeow> <COUGH>
[22:25:07] <katsmeow> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=avr+sata
[22:28:36] <rue_house> hi
[22:28:52] <rue_house> kat, tahts scarry
[22:29:14] <katsmeow> which is?
[22:29:16] <rue_house> 16 misp processor w/ata
[22:29:21] <rue_house> sata
[22:29:24] <rue_house> wait, sata?
[22:29:34] <katsmeow> 44pin pata
[22:29:45] <rue_house> ah
[22:29:47] <rue_house> easy
[22:29:55] <katsmeow> it talks to the rest f the world on a 57kbit serial port tho, so dead slow
[22:30:09] <katsmeow> if it's so easy, why can't i buy one?
[22:30:19] <rue_house> the digits I made are 5.87"
[22:30:28] <rue_house> the alrgest I can find on ebay are 5"
[22:30:43] <rue_house> well, no, there is an unmasked 7" thats just leds
[22:30:46] <rue_house> for $98
[22:30:53] <katsmeow> ouch
[22:31:06] <rue_house> do you want a pata to sata adapter?
[22:31:35] <rue_house> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-in-1-SATA-to-IDE-Adapter-IDE-to-SATA-Converter-40-pin-2-5-inch/32605257738.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.cLP1UI
[22:31:39] <rue_house> these are the ones I get
[22:31:55] <rue_house> they are either-direction
[22:32:02] <rue_house> depending on which sata port you use
[22:32:50] <rue_house> so I have to box up your digits and mail them
[22:33:00] <katsmeow> but how fast are they
[22:33:02] * rue_house pulls out a machette
[22:33:08] <rue_house> seen any boxes around?
[22:33:11] <katsmeow> i been buying them and being dissapointed fo rmonths
[22:33:31] <rue_house> katsmeow, I think you either get no speed or no access
[22:33:34] <katsmeow> i have sata drives, i need to access them like they were pata
[22:33:42] <rue_house> I dont push the transfer rates of my drives
[22:33:52] <katsmeow> but only 28MB from a sata-2 drive??
[22:34:03] <rue_house> I dont know
[22:34:15] <rue_house> "Data transfer rate up to 150 Mbps "
[22:34:24] <katsmeow> that's ATA-33 speeds, i have no PATA drives that slow!
[22:34:52] <katsmeow> the DRIVE may run 150, but the data is put on the PATA-133 cable at only 28
[22:35:00] <rue_house> I cant find you a card that will speed up a sata drive
[22:35:14] <katsmeow> run your "HD Tune" program on it
[22:35:35] <rue_house> it will work if you want to access the drive
[22:35:40] <katsmeow> i don;t wanna "speed it up" , i want the sata-1 to run at sata-1 normal speeds
[22:35:51] <rue_house> I dont ahve a computer fast enoguh I dont think
[22:35:59] <rue_house> I also dont have any working spare machines
[22:36:14] <rue_house> which I found out last week when I went to get data off a drive for someone
[22:37:06] <rue_house> I think the chip on that board is the one that they came up with when sata came out so that they could interface the pata systems to new drives
[22:37:18] <rue_house> aka, the technology-bridge chip
[22:37:30] <katsmeow> prolly, and they were so dead slow i never bought a sata drive
[22:37:30] <rue_house> box, box
[22:37:59] <rue_house> I'm not sure if I ahve your address
[22:38:29] <rue_house> 385... 35125 ?
[22:38:29] <katsmeow> me either
[22:38:34] <katsmeow> yas
[22:38:36] <rue_house> k
[22:39:32] <rue_house> should I put alafuckingbama and see if it gets there?
[22:40:18] <rue_house> so, a 1 and three 8s?
[22:40:20] <katsmeow> hmmm,, it may get the normal "treatment"
[22:40:27] <katsmeow> yeas
[22:40:30] <rue_house> k
[22:40:52] <katsmeow> i got one with tire tracks on it, two 7A26 smashed to hell inside
[22:41:28] <rue_house> that happened to the antique quarter panel jester sent to the states
[22:41:30] <katsmeow> they admitted they did it, but refused to insure because it obviously wasn't packaged well enough to withstand being run over
[22:42:05] <rue_house> I think I'd have gone out and taken out any of their tires that weren't rated to withstand a joog jab from a kniufe
[22:42:40] <rue_house> hum
[22:42:44] <rue_house> anyhow
[22:42:53] <katsmeow> you know they seriously expect packages to take a car battery being dropped on them from 8ft up?
[22:43:11] <rue_house> your in the usa, you could have sued them
[22:43:17] <rue_house> thats what people do in the usa
[22:43:27] <katsmeow> they'd have sued me for suing them
[22:43:30] <rue_house> damages and leagal fees
[22:43:46] <katsmeow> the judge here would have put me in jail for using USPS in the first place
[22:44:10] <rue_house> I'll pack the digits with nails, ok?
[22:44:47] <katsmeow> if they xray it ans see a cpu pcb, nails, and wiring?
[22:44:56] <rue_house> hahah
[22:45:14] <rue_house> and a block of mid-density material, duh
[22:45:53] <rue_house> what percentage of your packages arrive damaged?
[22:45:58] <katsmeow> they'll blow it up and arrest us both
[22:46:23] <katsmeow> there was a kid in Texas(?) who was arested for bringing a clock to school, because he was muslim
[22:46:25] <rue_house> and then re-export me to canada?
[22:46:32] <rue_house> I heard
[22:46:35] <rue_house> what percentage of your packages arrive damaged?
[22:47:32] <rue_house> usually a 2ish digit number?
[22:47:35] <katsmeow> usa-usa about half, china-usa maybe 5%
[22:47:41] <rue_house> ok
[22:48:16] <rue_house> hard to damage much mroe than 5% by the volumes
[22:49:09] <katsmeow> seems like as the package size goes up, the damage % goes up
[22:50:11] <rue_shop5> oh, if I put $100 value, will you get dinged for import value?
[22:50:48] <katsmeow> i dunno, i have never paid any import fees
[22:51:00] <rue_shop5> ok, I'll max the nsurance
[22:51:09] <katsmeow> don't think i ever imported $100 wotth of anything tho
[22:52:21] <rue_shop5> if I 7" display is $89...
[22:53:04] <katsmeow> i have no *mported* displays
[22:53:11] <rue_shop5> about $240
[22:53:19] <katsmeow> i have bought them inside the usa from Alif, Oregon, and Washington to
[22:53:19] <rue_shop5> for a 1 and 3 8s
[22:59:28] <rue_house> maybe I spoke too soon, all but 1 stuck to the paper after the last coat of paint and I have a bit more touchup to do
[23:00:28] <katsmeow> i'd have glued paper to the inner walls of the digits with glue, and then done one coat of black paint
[23:00:39] <rue_house> :)
[23:00:42] <katsmeow> even tissue paper would have been enough
[23:00:45] <rue_house> trickey profiles
[23:00:56] <katsmeow> tissue paper is maleable
[23:00:58] <rue_house> I found a perfect box
[23:02:12] <katsmeow> someone made a sata-2 to usb-2 convertor that runs the usb at full speed
[23:02:21] <katsmeow> that doesn't help me any
[23:04:52] <katsmeow> what is that cataegory on ebay called "wish list" ?
[23:05:19] <rue_shop5> there us a usb3 to sata
[23:05:23] <rue_shop5> I got one
[23:05:59] <katsmeow> i need pata interface, so i can use normal 1990's tech to munge the data and fudge the drives
[23:06:47] <rue_shop5> that adapter I showed you will work
[23:07:04] <rue_shop5> it can go either way
[23:07:08] <katsmeow> at ata-100 speeds?
[23:07:14] <rue_shop5> yes?
[23:07:19] <katsmeow> do you have a trother?
[23:07:27] <katsmeow> you said it would not go fast
[23:07:39] <rue_shop5> it'll go as fast as it goes, and it'll work
[23:07:52] <rue_shop5> I suspect it'll go fast enough
[23:08:28] <katsmeow> danstrother.com <<== dan's trother
[23:08:34] <rue_shop5> not i
[23:09:09] <rue_shop5> I need screws about 15mm longer to properly protrude thru the box enough for a proper tire-puncturing
[23:09:19] <rue_shop5> *dont* run over this box...
[23:09:26] <katsmeow> ok
[23:09:59] <rue_shop5> shall I put a bag of ink in it too?
[23:10:15] <rue_shop5> for marking the offender?
[23:10:28] <katsmeow> decided that if i need a full mobo running an OS to interface tween the drive and my cirsuits, it isn't worth it, and prolly isn't possible, it sure defeats all the original objectives
[23:10:45] <katsmeow> i dunno
[23:11:08] <rue_shop5> something thin that stains skin?
