Customer Reviews:
I miss it..........2003-06-21
Works OK - with a few gripes..........2003-01-17
Great SMALL player!.......2002-11-28
I use it everyday when training. While running the unit shows its strengths best. It is so small and weights next to nothing that you don't even notice it clipped onto your running shorts. I have run for 3-1/2 hours continuously with it and didn't even notice it. And the battery life is good enough with the 2AAA batteries for over 9 hours of continuous use. I do notice that cheap batteries do not last as long. I switched to high quality NiMh rechargables and get over 10 hours per charge!
There is one thing that you need to do to get more play out of the memory cards. I use 2x64MMC cards and only download from Windows Media Player in XP using the .wma format. I can get over 4 hours of music at 64bits on the 128megs of card this way; it is the same quality (or better) as using 128bit mp3's.
So just scrap the included software and use the Windows Media Player in Windows XP and you will get 2 hours of music per 64MB MMC card. When the 128MB cards come down in price you will be able to get over 8hours of music on this little device --- that is awesome considering the hard drive portables cost 3 times this amount and they are not solid state devices (you CANNOT run with them, or even walk briskly wihtout skipping problems).
I highly recommend this little device for those who want an exercise companion for music. This excels in that catagory!
May be a dead product, but I like it!.......2002-08-15
I purchased this specifically to have something that would not be susceptible to the usual problems that occur during a run: skipping, and being forced to hold something large in your hand. Consequently, I took a chance on the PA-2. I read the Amazon.com reviews, and figured that, with my limited technical knowledge, I could work through the quirks. I received the product, which includes a set of headphones (which are only so-so), the device, a CD with software, a connection cord, and some starter AAA batteries. I was up and running very quickly.
On the plus side, this device really does a great job of making the download of music (I do it through MusicMatch Jukebox) simple, and had intuitive controls for pumping up the bass and treble, as needed (controls allow for +/- 5 for each setting). Sound quality is strong (dependent, of course, on the quality of MP3 or WMA files that you store in it). I have jogged with it several time, and have never had a problem. The fact that the play button is large, and on the front, does mean that occasionally the music will pause because I accidently hit it. Other than that, it has been great.
One notable problem occurs with MP3 files. I have nothing but WMA (Windows Media Files) in my collection, and they play like a charm, at all sizes, lengths, and quality bitrates. MP3 files are not so fortunate. I put a couple on it, and had files stop halfway through and go to the next track. Converting the files to WMA and redownloading took care of the problem immediately. Don't know what kind of glitch it is, but since I don't have many MP3 files, it doesn't really impact me.
The four stars is because it would have been nice to have more/better software. Plus, I would imagine technical assistance to be a real pain, since the HP-Compaq merger seems to have left the Compaq support site in some disarray. However, someone who generally doesn't rely on tech support, with a library of primarily WMAs, will find this product to be a godsend.
Extremely Unreliable.......2002-08-06
When it works, the product is great. However, it's so unreliable that it's not worth it. My recommendation is to buy another brand unless Compaq can get their act together.

Qlogic QLA4010C 1GB Iscsi 133MHZ 64BIT Pci-x Copper Hba
Manufacturer: INFO-X ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B0009B0L1S |
Product Description
The QLogic SANblade QLA4010 implements the complete protocol stack including Ethernet, TCP/IP and iSCSI on a single chip and offloads all I/0 protocol processing from the host system. This complete offload of the host eliminates the protocol processing load of TCP/IP, and also reduces CPU interrupts. At 1-Gbps speeds, these I/0 protocol burdens placed on the host system are significant and reduce the bandwidth available to other applications running on the host. The QLA4010 maximizes I/O bandwidth and allows the host system to deliver optimum application performance. The QLA4010 architecture combines a hardware state-based design with embedded processors to provide the optimum mix of performance and flexibility. This flexible architecture allows firmware upgrades to support changes to the iSCSI standard.

Customer Reviews:
Great tv but can find it lower........2005-05-15
Great TV!.......2004-01-01
Benefits:
- Picture is tremendously clear and sharp
- Sound is great
- It looks very slick -- it is beautifully industrially designed. The attention to detail in design extends even to the rear of the unit, where they have cable covers and wire wrapping mounts, so it can stand on a table and look good from all sides.
- Enough connections for several devices to plug in.
Only complaint (which may not matter to you depending on whether you use headphones) is that the there's no way to leave the headphones plugged in and control whether the external speakers are on or off -- if the headphones are plugged in the external speakers go off. For bedroom use, this means that you can't just leave the headphones in and use the remote for sound on/off, and since the jack is covered in the back of the unit, its a little bit of work to plug and unplug it each time.
Other than that minor oversight, this unit is worth every penny.
