Probably not crazy enough, but when I used to live in an apartment that was sunken into the ground by about 3 feet, it greatly reduced the amount of heating and cooling needed. The ground acted as a natural temperature buffer. If a house were built mostly underground, I imagine it would stay...
Hmm - strange. Maybe I can't paste the search result like I thought.
You can search Vector T120 on Digi and it comes right up though.
Another try at linking to the same part ...

Yes that looks pretty close to what I am looking for. Ours came in a clear plastic baggie and each jumper was a separate though. Word in the lab is that they may have been part of a logic analyzer kit. There are 25 jumper wires for $130 from Digi...
telecomguy:
Very close, except I'm afraid those would slip off of their mating pins, since the pins are not individually enclosed in housings.
I will post the part up here when I find them. I've found them to be very handy for prototyping.
I'll try to explain more clearly:
It is a single conductor (24AWG stranded) wire about 6 inches long. At each end, there is a socket crimped on (with some shrinktube over it). A person might use this cable for connecting a Dsub9 pin to a header pin on another board, e.g. bringing an RS-232...
What do you call those little single wires with a socket at each end? The little sockets fit nicely into headers that you find on PCB's. I am trying to search for them on Digi but don't know what to call them. Thanks,

Lead free stuff is horrible on our tips. You have to constantly wipe it on the wet sponge after every use like Scotty said, otherwise it fouls and will eat a hole through the tip eventually. I don't use the lead-free, but have managed to salvage a tip or two by "sanding" it on the abrasive...
I have a question about a Linux (EXT3) drive that we are using in a 3rd party embedded application, concerning how the 'bad sector' table is stored.
1) I remove the HD from the embedded Linux hardware, remove the Linux partition, run chkdsk and repair bad sectors. I do this because I have no...
No other failure symptoms except a high pitched intermittent whining intermixed with the aforementioned click of death. I will run chkdsk to see what the damage is.
Nope - vaccuum pump followed by release of vaccuum in normal room air fixed the problem immediately. We plan to do a dry air fill with the units from now on and do some experimentation with N2 to see if this has any adverse effects on the drive.
Thanks for the advice and suggestions everyone. I vacuum purged one of the returned defective units and the hard drive started working immediately, so the gas density was the issue.
Now the question is... was there any permanent damage done to the drives that ran with the denser gas? Did the...
I hope this is in the right forum -
We are having an unusual problem with a piece of equipment that uses a 2.5" fixed hard disk drive housed in a small, water and airtight sealed enclosure. Prior to sealing, we purge the entire enclosure of air using tetrafluoroethane. (Commonly available in...

We've used Eagle and it seems to be a good solution, especially with the routing features and low cost. I don't think that you'll need anything too fancy with a small board that gets spun only few times a year. I've been with a few places that have subsisted on ExpressPCB for many years before...
