Driver for NATO custom storage device

Hello,
We need a POC to discuss development of a driver for download of imagery data from aircraft Removable Memory Module (RMM) to NATO ground stations using Sun/ Solaris workstations. A new NATO STANAG (standard) is being developed which defines the interface. It includes electrical and command protocol (SCSI III over FC PLDA) and a unique file system. Initial tests revealed that SUN OS was not able to download data from the RMM unless the a label was placed in the RMM directory but writing to the RMM is not allowed by the STANAG so a custom driver is needed.
Thank you,
Tom Canniere
SAIC PM for NATO Advanced Data Storage Interface Pgm.

Did you ever get a reply to this?

Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage?

Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage? I want an iPad mini, but don't want to get a large one (memorywise) along with cellular capability. I remember that the old iPads coiuld not communicate via their iPhone connector to transfer data. So can I do that iwth the newest iPad mini via the lightning connector somehow? Thanks, Tom

No. But you can with Seagate's wireless GoDrive.

How to use an external hard drive for your music storage

How do I use my external hard drive as my storage for music? I have already saved my music on my external and I have my iTunes program on the computer just wondering what is the next step is? Also I want to make sure I do not use my computer's hard drive for any sizable storage.

sorry to butt in, but this appears to be the best thread to pose my question/problem.
i have successfully migrated my iTunes Library to my external hard drive. the last part of the instructions tell me to delete the iTunes music folder from my hard drive to free up space.
however, i've not done this because i would like to keep a reduced number of music files on my MacBook so that i can listen to music when i'm away from my external hard drive.
i've managed to delete the files i don't want stored on my hard drive, and when i open iTunes without the external hard drive, it defaults to the original location. i'm sure this is not good practise, because whilst i can now play music, the information in iTunes is not right.
what is the best way of storing and playing some of my iTunes library on my hard drive, whilst using the external drive as a 'master'? can it be done?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2GB RAM, 120GB HD, 2GHZ

Can i install a second hard drive for back up/storage

i have 1td already and could exchange my mac mini for the server editions but im told its much more complicated
i just want to have enough drive space, is it possible to get another hard drive and have it in the mac mini for back up / storage
or would i simply be best to get a USB hub with an external drive ?

Yes, you can add a 2nd drive. You can review this iFixit.com page for instructions. You would need to purchase their data doubler kit which would include all the parts you need to add it. All you need to remember is to follow their instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME. There are several little screws and plugs that you have to be careful with. Otherwise, it's a breeze to take the Mini apart and add a 2nd drive.
All the Mac Mini Server has extra is an additional 1TB hard drive and the OS X Server app. If you want OS X Server, you can purchase it on the App Store for $19.99 US.

I receive songs or photos from friends on email, and when I download them, they stay in my Downloads file. How can I move these to my hard drive for long-term storages and organization?

How can I transfer song or photo files from Downloads on Firefox to my own hard drive for permanent storage?

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Need to compile nvidia driver for a custom kernel [SOLVED]

I compiled a custom kernel following this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source
I can boot into it just fine. I now want to compile an nvidia driver for use with it and followed the steps on this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVI … tom_kernel
I run into a problem when makepkg trys to compile it. Here is the output:

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Hello,
I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel. I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt. I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts. Can you please take a look? Here is my terminal:

Yoga 3 Pro driver for ACPI\VPC2004 in Device Manager

Hi all, first post here...
I am re-installing Windows 8.1 and the required drivers for my Yoga 3 Pro (to get rid of Superfish, started the task before the Lenovo tool came out...)
I am almost there, except for one unknown device in the Device Manager, which has a code in its detail of ACPI\VPC2004.
A quick google gives me a link to - Lenovo http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht071645 - and a page which says 'Download and run the Energy Management from Lenovo support website with the proper Operating System version. This will install the chipset INF files so that Windows properly recognizes the virtual power controller ACPI/VPC2004.'
All apparently clear. However I am rather unclear on which file on the relevant yoga page ( http://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-3-pro-1370-laptop-len... ) I should be using? - I have already installed all of the drivers on that page (other than the intel wireless LAN and bluetooth as the yoga has Broadcomm).
Any thoughts or direction would be massively appreciated!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It looks like the power management comes from One Key Optimizer. Can you install it and let me know if the driver installs as well? If not, I can extract it from my install.

How to Use A Timemachine Back Up Drive for backup and storage?

I bought a 1TB external drive, and installed a 1TB SSD in my Macbook Pro 13in Early 2011 i-5, and have 426gb free, the other 200 or so is for bootcamp. I used the external as a timemachine back up, but there should be some extra space right??? I need someplace for storage for my videos and photos for work, and I don't want to go out and buy another 500gb external. Can I just use the one for timemachine for both timemachine and storage?

I plan on getting a second drive eventually but this is more of a last minute kind of transfer, i need to take a bunch of wedding videos and move them over to my laptop, and I don't have the money or time to get another external.
how would I use the current one I have for storage, because when I plugged it in it reads it only as a time machine back up and drive and opens differently, I don't have it on me now to test it again, but just drag and drop files into it?

Is multiple driver for same kind of devices allowed?

Hi,
Suppose I have two disks c0t0d0 and c0t1d0, sd driver by default manages these two disks.
Can I make sd driver to manage only c0t0d0 disk and write my own SCSI target driver to manage other disk(c0t1d0)?
If so, what should be the entries in sd.conf and newdriver.conf?

Answer is "YES" for tape device. I believe it is same for disk device. But, you must be very careful to avoid the conflict operation from the two drivers.

DVD driver for the externel DVD device

Hi,
I have Lenovo u110 laptop and it has the externel DVD R/W device. Is there an DVD drivers software (for window XP) that I need to install? Thanks.

No, you don't. Driver is generic.

? Re: External Hard Drive for iMovie Usage & Storage

Ummm .... I am formatting an OWC 400GB Mercury Elite as Mac OS Extended (not journaled) as we speak. I got it just for movies.
Not sure if I need to actually put the Operating System on this drive and boot from it ~ or if I can just use it for working on the projects?????
How do you experienced people manage this?
... I'm still very much in the learning stages.

Cool! That was quick! Thanks! So, I just make a movie > save as > select my external hard drive and that's it?
Will the extra stuff (garbage) remain on my boot drive or will it all get saved on the external?
I am hoping for the latter. I want to keep my iMac Pristine!

Storm 2 - RIM Mass Storage Device - Cannot Install Driver

Blackberry Storm2, with Desktop Manager 5.0 (11/23/09) installed, on Windows 7 x64. I have Roxio Manager installed, and am able to transfer Media ONLY through that application. There are no drives that show up in Windows Explorer for the blackberry internal storage and 16 GB SD media card.
Computer - Intel Core I7, MSI Eclipse plus MB, 12 GB Corsair DDR3 triple channel RAM, XFX Radeon 4870X2
I know this BB works with Win7 x64, as I installed Desktop manager on my laptop, and I am able to see both storage drives.
I have tried EVERY known fix for this specific issue:
1) uninstalling DM 5.0, total clean of RIM software, reboot computer, reinstall DM 5.0.
2) reverting back to an Acronis Trueimage backup made 2 days BEFORE I bought the BB
3) the "calfix.exe" for blackberry.
4) uninstalling DM 5.0, total clean of RIM software, reboot computer. Install of DM 4.x - FOUR different versions
5) Made a custom INF file for "RIM Mass Storage Device" pointing Windows to "Disk.sys" and "partmgr.sys", and that assigns unique CLSIDs for the drives. DO NOT try that, as it crached the heck out of my machine hence I was forced to use Acronis and recover.
6) Tried every possible combination of enabling/disabling media card support, auto enable mass storage
7) Pulled out SD card, soft and hard reboot of phone. Pulled battery out.
8) Tried the Fix from Pinstack forums
9) Even tried a low level system hook in a cutom wrote DLL that attempted to create a named pipe using that interfaces with the CreateFileA that Roxio uses when accesing the SD card for media transfers.
I am going on 2 solid weeks of several hours a day trying to figure this out. What could POSSIBLY be the issue of Windows not seeing the 2 storage drives, or not installing the drivers for the RIM Mass storage device?

FOUND THE SOLUTION:

My %SystemRoot%\INF folder was missing usbstor.inf. By going to a file repository in the "Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" and finding usbstor host folders, i was able to get a previously used .inf file to point Windows in the right direction.
This is most definitely a *Windows* issue. I had no troubles with upper and lower filters in the USB CLSID in the registry, so somehow the correct inf file was deleted and I was only able to find it in the repository.
Just a note: Roxio manager basically creates a virtual disk for its own internal use, using the RIM_USB.sys driver to communicate with the hardware. CreateFileMapping system calls are used to map this device for reading/writing. So Roxio can work without Windows explorer ever seeing it. Windows NEEDS the usbstor.inf to be able to install the correct USB drivers in order to access the volumes on the BB.
A moderator should sticky or tag this post, because this issue is very widespread and I only found the solution after 2 weeks of searching.

Satellite M100 - Driver for Mass Storage Controller

Please help. I keep getting the message hat I have no driver for my Mass storage controller. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the Toshiba drivers. Microsoft cant find anything.
It seems to be PCI bus 5, device 6, function 2.
Can anyone help (in laymans terms please). This is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Hi Tellgio,
Which Toshiba drivers you have reinstalled exactly? Im pretty sure that you dont have installed all drivers because you still have a yellow exclamation mark in device manager
Furthermore it would be interesting to know which OS is installed
I had also a yellow exclamation mark on Mass Storage Controller and in my case it was a missing Card Reader driver. So you should install this driver from official Toshiba website:

What is the best external hard drive for macbook pro I think I want firewire for storage and usb for time machine

I have a macbk pro. I think a usb external drive would be fine for time machine but I'd like a fire wire external drive to store files.
Any recommendations on brand? The last recommendations were dated 2006/7
I have been waiting for a 1TB g-drive. Apparently they are special order. I did not think I needed anything larger than 1 TB to backup the 500GB internal drive.
I thought I'd get something bigger for storage. From what I have read I think its best not to partition the drive for backup and storage.
Also I'd like to have a bootable copy of my internal hard drive is that possible?

Don't know about the Best... But I have been using these without any issues...
LaCie quadra D2 for Manual Backup and Clone Backup
LaCie Rikki for USB Time Machine
