Can someone show me where the big list of schematics are?

[phsyconoodler]

We used to have a big downloadable list of layouts and schematics.My computer crashed and I lost them all,so I need to get up to date on those treasures again.
  Anyone point me in the right direction it would be appreciated!

No I meant the ones that the forum members had.All the cool stuff Tubenit,Sluckey and the other dudes compiled.

Yep, I couldn't believe it, Doug had a schematic to a LANEY VH 100R---thought that was going to be hard one to find

I'm sorry for you.

 I never understand why people don't use external drive disk for make backup . We ear that too often. There are no excuse.

Psycho,
I feel for ya.

These days with the thumb drives being cheap, get yourself an 8 gig for 10-12 bucks, and keep your amp stuff on there.
I have a 2 gig that has all my amp drawings, Steely Dan Charts for 45 songs, and personal stuff, and still have some room.
Then if I need anything printed, (like a nice big schematic larger than 8 1/2 X 11) go to Kinko's... stick in the thumb drive
and get it printed out for 10 cents.  Once a week, I back up everything.

It would be rough to lose several thousand docs.

My personal folder holds all my downloads, updates, amp stuff, pictures, blah blah.
If you do that, then drag the whole personal folder onto the biggest thumb drive you can get for reasonable price.
Update at least once a week.

Then if your computer crashes, you can reinstall all your stuff immediately.

I've been carrying a thumbdrive on my keychain for many years. Started with a 512MB. Currently have a 32GB PNY (WalMart $19). Great for backups and/or working on data files from multiple locations. The PNY drive is only 1.25" L x .5" W x .125" H. Join the geek squad!

Guitardude57      Update at least once a week Do you use the same flash/thumb drive to backup every week? Or do you use a new one when it gets full?

[phsyconoodler]

I'm off to walmart to get me a zip drive!Now to find an sch file program to download so I can read the files.

Thanks guys!

[stratele52]

You need to zip your download ? I never zip my dowload , I don't know how to do and only shematics are very light files no ?

Maybe I wrong ?

[guitardude57]

Guitardude57      Update at least once a week Do you use the same flash/thumb drive to backup every week? Or do you use a new one when it gets full?

I do a general back up every month for programs and audio files onto an external HD.

My studio computer never goes online, and the CPL files for Cubase, are stored on 3 different HD's for safety copies.

The thumbdrive is just data and updates, that don't take up much space.
I have so many schemos and whatnot, that I don't download much of that, unless it is something out of the ordinary.
So not much.  Maybe a drawing or 2 a week.

I still have about 300 meg left open.
I'm due for a 16-32 gig, since my 2 gig is getting old.

I use a mac with a time-machine auto backup - S I've got at least 2 copies of everything I've ever downloaded from cyberspace. Then there's my lappy.

On the matter of schematic reading/editing, if you're a mac user JSchem is free and easy. http://dhost.info/jschem/

Why?

[kagliostro]

I think HotBluePlates refers at Thumbdrives who are used in many computers

is easy for a virus to install itself in one of this unit and when you use it in one other computer it will duplicate itself on it and so on ..........

If you use it only on your PC I think they are safe

Same for me , for that Mac is the best IMO . Easy saving and easy recovering.

Well sure it is. You can't just go sticking your thumb into every slot you meet. You gotta be savy and use protection. Using a thumbdrive (us geeks call them babe magnets) to port files between two well protected computers that only I have access to is reasonably safe, much safer than visiting the internet.

[guitardude57]

I use AVG, and Spybot Search and Destroy...regularly.  The thumbdrive only goes into my computer,
and the occasional Kinko's for copies.  Never an issue to worry about bugs.  As soon as it is plugged in, AVG
goes through it, and looks for anything that doesn't belong in there.

Oh, do you now? 

[Boots Deville]

Thumb drives can get corrupt too, so don't overlook the cloud options like dropbox.

I've been using that for all my "amp stuff" for at least a couple years now and it's great.  I can access the files anywhere there's an internet connection.  I tweak a layout on the desktop upstairs, then go down to the shop in the basement and it's automatically sync'ed on the laptop down there.  and on my iPad, where ever I am.  If any one of 'em dies, the files are still ok.  If internet goes down, there is still a local copy of all the files on each of the devices it's sync'ed to. 

As long as you don't need to store a bunch of audio or video, the space you get for free should be plenty.

[sluckey]

Absolutely! By the time I finished preparing for the CompTIA Network + exam, I was a fully qualified geek. I wore my babe magnet proudly around my neck with a classy lanyard. Walking thru the mall was so coooool!

I later had to put it on a keychain because the babes were just too.....


I hope Colas does not see this!

What I really meant is malware exists that uses USB connections to hop from computer to computer.

DoD now bans all USB removable media (thumbdrives, external hard drives, etc) because of the risk of infection and security threat.

If you're careful and scan your stuff regularly, you might be okay.
