Hey guys, in the uk does anyone know where to get the 42 pin ide cable for t5700... ?? im having a mere trying to get one as my t5700 does have one inside...

please reply to mpearce@rudderdesigns.co.uk

thank you for your help

Thanks for a great article. I'm weighing up this option versus an new Acer Revo/Asus Eee box or similar.

How do you find the performance of Squeezecenter, compared to your old server? And did the extra RAM help?

I thought this was a great post - it inspired me to write my own post about building a Squeezebox Server for less than $100. Take a look, if you're interested. Here is the link: http://www.crazyhawt.com/2009/11/23/...t-can-be-done/

> Hello. I have hp compaq t5500 terminal. I'm doing everything exactly as in the article "http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-howto/30522-how-to-build-a-squeezecenter-server-with-freenas-and-a-t5700" (installing the same version of freenas and slimserver). In the and of install the squeezeserver show me the messsage "Status - failed - SqueezeCenter is not available. Please note that it might take a minute or more for the service to be available after a restart. Please refresh this page to check the status again." In the slimnas version 2.0.1 I can't enter to Squuezecenter - message (Warning: require(auth.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/services_slimserver.php on line 3 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'auth.inc' (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www') in /usr/local/www/services_slimserver.php on line 3 ). And in the 1.3.0. version of slimnas the message is "Status - Starting - SqueezeCenter is starting but not yet ready. Please check again in a bit...".Testing on squeezeserver version 5.4.1, 6.5.4, 7.0.1. The newer vesion of freenas won't install. On the "normal" computer (pentium dual core, geforce 9 etc) and the last version of freenas everything is great. So wher
e is the problem? Any idea? Is the 128 MB RAM can be the reason? Please answer.

I think that 128 MB is not enough memory to run both FreeNAS and SqueezeCenter. My T5700 has 512 MB and runs fine. I started with 256 MB and it ran in that, but not well.

Thank's so much. I will buy 256 or 512 memory and check this. Thank's one more time

The T5700 that I used was a bit vintage. As a result it's BIOS would only support 512 MB of memory. I tried 1GB and 2 GB DIMMs as I had them on hand, but neither would work. It just wouldn't POST.

I ordered a 512 MB DIMM from an online vendor and that work fine when it arrived a couple of days later.

One more thing. What kind of memory you have got - 266 or 333 Mhz? I don't know is the terminal detect both kind of memory?

By the way. What version of freenas do you have installed on t5700 ? On my t5500 I can't run freenas 0.69, 0.7, and latest - when starting the message is "ACPI AUTOLOAD FAILED - INPUT OUTPUT ERROR". Only version 0.68x works fine. Anyone have a suggestions?
