I'm sure a lot of people are still looking for those things. Again, I'm sorry I can't help you but I can vouch for the usefulness of those PC Weasel cards. It seemed for a long time, BIOSes were built so you couldn't get to them even with a PC Weasel. But I have one and it has worked in my last 3 machines going back 5 or 6 years now. Another thing they are useful for is making a bootable CD or pen drive. You have access to the boot prompt with a PC Weasel. Having one of those things saved me more than once. I wonder if we could talk the manufacturer into sending out an order for a hundred or so of those cards on the possibility that there might be a few blind systems admins looking for them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tony seth" To: Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 11:16 AM Subject: Re: pc weasel? >I got an e-amil address I'd had for quite some time, and decided to finally >contact it a couple of months ago, and while I never thought of it >belonging to a reseller as I got it off the web site, before it >disappeared, they did seem to know what I was talking about, and said >they'd be there... but I've not heard from them since, so now I'm not sure. >The e-mail address is on a domain I can ping, so I figure I'll wait, but if >anybody's got one I'd be happy to buy it... > > -- > Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
