Subject:New Version of ETKA Out
From:Derek Drew
Date:Fri, 26 Apr 2002 18:04:30 -0400

<html>
<font size=3>Suppose one had a new version of this somehow, but the new
version, which is reportedly really great, caused a lockup due to not
having the required hardware device on the back of the PC.<br>
<br>
If so, how would one go about making it more similar to the ETKA 5.30s
that we have been using in the past. <br>
<br>
Technical comments solicited which may describe the methodologies of
protection in this disk. Pmails welcome. <br>

SYNCRO OWNERS WHO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You only get to change your ring and pinions once every 10 years <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; because that's how long the average syncro transmission goes before <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; its next rebuild. If you want bigger tires and more ground clearance<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; start planning your higher number ring and pinion sets right now so you <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; can take advantage of your next trans rebuild. <br>
