Hi:
I would like a laptop that is NVRAM-free, cache-free, and with all OS- partitions being in the form of mask-programmed ROM. I also need for the MAC address, IP address, and any other unique IDs of my laptop to be in the form of completely-volatile RAM, so that they will be lost each time I turn my laptop off -- and make new IDs, IPs, and MACs, when I turn it on again. Normally MAC addresses and other unique IDs are stored in mask- programmed ROM, which cannot at all change. In my laptop they should be in V-RAM. I don't plan to save anything on the laptop, which is why I don't need NVRAM or caches. NVRAM and caches will store unwanted confidential material no matter how much you try to erase. For example, the only way to remove haunting info from HDDs is to heat the platters beyond Curie point. Happy New Year, Radium GreenXenon |

It should be available by now. All you need to wipe it is the same sledghammer you use for the hard drives. http://www.newscientist.com/article/...-unveiled.html Of course, the best solution is to get back on your meds. ----------------- www.Newsgroup-Binaries.com - *Completion*Retention*Speed* Access your favorite newsgroups from home or on the road ----------------- RobV |
