    my nanny has a dbox. it has an old sportster image on it which works but it keeps freezing, 4 or 5 times a day, can anyone recommend a good dbox image for nthell dublin that doesn't freeze?

    Hi Steo the image supports an IDE interface. But to be honest I never got around to installing an IDE module, you can get info on one here http://www.dboxservice-hallenberg.de/ide.php

    It basically mean taking out the defunct modem and utilising its slot. Bit of modding to do regards a carry case and psu,but all should fit. Bit of work so it is up to you mate ;)

    You had an old version with an old CVS, I find this image to be the most stable for Dublin. Blade Quad is sharper but needs the cables.xml and setmylocation files changed as NetID is incorrect for Dublin.

    i'll stick to this one as it seems ok. my nanny hasn't said anything about it freezing and i was watching it in her house the last 2 nights and it works grand. much more stable, the old one looks like a slow computer compared to it (the way they freeze and stick).
