| vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: Jan 22 08:16PM Sorry to post here, but this group is the smartest. I used to have a triple boot PC with MSDOS XP and Quantian and am trying to replicat eon a Dell Vostro. Managed to kill win7 by moving it to put MSDOS up front. Anyone have any tips about this? Where to put MSDOS (1024 cylinder, zero sector requirement)? Are the Archive.org XP good? Some don't have a setup key. Or did I fail to notice? Quantian runs into filesystem location. Tried home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice. Everything fully disclaimed.}--- |

Good chance that fooling with partitions at any time will dust MS. Used to have? RL |

The main problem that I see with the first one is only that it doesn't seem to support QC charging (which, to me, makes a charger instantly worthless). <https://i.postimg.cc/9FCfT60g/charger03.jpg> 4-port B087MFJY22 2C & 2A <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X42DRMR/> Note: In the future, the number of PD devices in your home may likely supersede the QC devices, but for now, both are needed for many of us. Luckily, your 2nd selection _does_ support both charging specs (PD & QC)! <https://i.postimg.cc/63hntrBm/charger04.jpg> 4-port supports both QC & PD <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X42DRMR/>/ Woo hoo! Great find! Everyone will benefit (which is the goal, after all). These are the output specs of your second find as far as I can tell: USB-C1/USB-C2 port: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/5A USB-A1/USB-A2 port: 4.5V/5A, 5V/4.5A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 20V/1.5A To add on-topic technical value to this conversation, here's a review: <https://www.mbreviews.com/hyphen-x-100w-gan-charger-review/> Where, in that review, they instrumented heat & power specs checks: <https://www.mbreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/hyphen-x-100w-charger-5.jpg> <https://www.mbreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/hyphen-x-100w-charger-2.jpg> > an action camera and a panorama head and a travel tripod and all of those > don't seem to slow me down and I'm 75 years old. How bloody small does a > charger need to be? I'm with you that a charger doesn't "need" to be small, especially when it's replacing three or four separate (almost worthless) one-port chargers. The charger I own was bought on Steve's recommendation on this newsgroup, which I was able to purchase for $9 (about $10 with California sales tax). <https://i.postimg.cc/DzGLSQJr/charger01.jpg> 3-port QA & PC GaN charger <https://i.postimg.cc/v8t77vPX/charger02.jpg> 3-port model CH-GN67W2C1A <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYNK5TG> I've been watching it for a month, ever since Steve recommended it at the $9 price, and the price fluctuates extremely wildly - almost weekly so. The only problem I see with that 67 Watt GaN 3-port charger is it's long and heavy... to the point of imbalance when multiple cords are connected. It tips over too easily; and, of course, it doesn't have two USB-A ports, which, for the next couple of years, is perhaps more useful than two USB-C. -- Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information which, in this case, is to summarize the suitable chargers so far proposed. (added s.e.r just for this summary - so they can benefit without posts) |
