rgio - thank you for the advice. I looked at those and they are a bit pricey but I'm sure they are worth it!
I talked to the IT specialist at my university (I'm emeritus so still connected there). He reminded me that I need a graphics card (NVIDIA or AMD). So, I went off on a search and found something that I think will work, essentially a gaming computer.
HP Victus Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS Display, Intel Core i5-13420H, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, Backlit Keyboard, Wi-Fi 6, Win 11 Pro, Blue, 32GB Hotface USB Card
So, I'll let you all know how it goes.

I appreciate your input. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on it, just want a good functioning laptop for limited use. Our everyday computers will still be Macs.
Thanks

If you're using SSDs on XP, then you're very likely missing out on the firmware upgrades, almost always highly recommended. Samsung Magician (and other SSD fw update utils, AFAIR) doesn't support XP, which means to upgrade the drive firmware, you'll need to pull the drive out and stuff it into something, like your SATA dock, and get it to talk to a newer OS.

Good lord man! Why aren't you deploying a 4 bay NAS? It's doable, even with an outdated and insecure OS like XP.
Offload the storage hosting to a more reliable device, compatible with anything. Then your XP box is easier to maintain, which I assume you are using due to an obsolete version of some app managing your data/music. NAS config isn't very hard. Setting up a simple network with a NAS as a file server isn't hard, and costs are trivial, other than the acquisition cost of a suitable NAS. On the cheap - buy a name brand used NAS and start there.

Having a NAS holding your data will greatly simplify your life. And a four bay NAS can be easily configured for RAID 1 mirroring (up to 2 sets of 2 HDDS) or RAID6. Data protection built in - plus the ability to use the largest drives on the market. With your NAS up and running, then you could focus on simplifying the XP box, and even cloning the XP box to a spare if/when the XP box decides to die.

One has been in service for a few years and the other that I just cloned it to is a brand new spare that has been sitting around for moments like this. Been using SSD's for the OS for nearly 10 years even though XP is not really set up for them. Made it very much faster though. I know about not defragging them and turning off the indexing function and some other adjustments for using SSD's. All my HDD's are WD Blacks. There are 4 / 2TB drives with about 4 partitions on each of them. I never did get the alleged XP fix to see drives bigger than 2TB running though. That alone would simplify my life cuz even with 8TB's I'm running low on space. I would love to put in 4 / 4TB drives. I just got done replacing 3 of the 2TB drives as a couple of them were 10 years old. Got one more to do that was installed in 12 / 2018. The fix MBR I see a warning about deleting all of the partitions on the drive. That would be a problem since all of the add on program software is on the other partition. That way if I needed to do a reimage, it would be the OS only and the programs remain intact and fully functional without reinstalling them on the other partition. It works as I have had to do this several times over the years. In fact having the OS only on a separate partition is how the rest of my newer computers are set up, again for the same reason. I believe that when the USB crashed, I went and dug up the old master SSD which was only a 128 GB Samsung 850 Pro and the BOIS read it as a new drive and that is how it got reset. Hopefully with now having a matched set of OS SSD drives this will no longer be a problem. Your advice on unplugging all USB devices for a restore is good advice and I saw that elsewhere during looking up stuff during this adventure. When I have some spare time, I'll break out the OS disc and try and run the Repair function and see what happens. I will have the working back up clone in case it takes out the other partition. My cloning capable SATA dock has been a life saver. Cheers ! Upon further thought ... when I initially got things somewhat up and running, I had disconnected the other 4 HDD's so that the only thing the BIOS could see was the OS drive. When I reconnected the 4 HDD's is likely when the BIOS boot order got reset

So put the OS drive back in and back to ntdlr. Restart, enter bios again, find the right drive to boot and in. Restart, back to ntdlr. Restart into bios and look at boot settings find the boot OS is not an option for power 1 or 2. Ok now what. Never had this problem before. Kept looking and found the power option settings and made the OS drive power 1 boot permanent. Fixed. (I hope) Never went that deep into the BIOS before. Never had to. How the BIOS got altered, I have no clue.
The other problem with the USB plug and play drivers was the Error message, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Common for USB and especially audio functions. Some how it affected all kinds of things and was not resolved until I tried to reset the driver.
So I then remember that XP still had the good old System Restore ability, and made a restore point for this happy time. Sigh. So clone the OS again and I think I'm done (in) and for now.
Cheers !

This link may help avoid full recovery. https://www.lifewire.com/resto... Thanks. Already tried several methods similar to this. The repair gets stuck at a certain point and will not move on. I've got to look at the boot drive and see what letter it is assigned and if it is not C for some reason, reassign it somehow and try again, otherwise its going to be a total reinstall. It is not a total loss as the only thing on the C partition is the XP OS, everything else is on other partitions and other drives. Just got the clone to light up and C is C as it should be. Still ain't right yet though. Update : Fixed. Not quite sure how. Overcame the NTLDR with the clone and having the XP OS disc for boot from and it kept going. The original problem was the USB phono preamp ADC quit working properly. It was there, but the signal wasn't coming into the PC. Even pulled out my back up ADC never used, same problem. Then the ADC was not even listed. Tried driver updates. The last one was the USB Plug and Play driver. That seemed to be the one. The mouse has quit working a lot lately and had to get out a spare, then had to switch ports and reboot to get the old one working again. Been lots of static and the power has been dicey with surges and stuff. USB 2.0 audio is touchy all by itself. So 7 hours later. Yay. Playing with OS discs the old fashioned way. Time to retire the two opticals and replace them and clone the C drive that's working for the next time. This has happened a couple of other times over the years but it is so long in between I forget how I fix it. That's why I have a safety clone on standby. But it didn't work this time. Getting too old for this stuff.

Been thru that. Same message on 2 copies on separate SDDs. Cloned one again on a brand new SDD and attempting a repair. Got the clone to open up to normal, after getting no devices found at boot up which is most disturbing. Should have gone into disk management and checked to see what the drives were assigned. Ooops. Either the motherboard is flaking out or I don't know what else yet. Last resort is another fresh SDD and try to do a total install from scratch. Gonna be a long (er) night.

Help please.
I am looking for an 'App' that would allow text communication between an iPad and an Android smartphone or Windows 10 PC Workstation.
The owner of the iPad does not have an iPhone. I mention this because apparently if you have an iPhone, you can sync to an iPad and get WhatsApp to work.
The owner of the iPad lives in a provincial hospice, lost both legs to a CN freight train a couple of years ago and has limited use of his hands. I occasionally visit this man and bring him edibles.
I am the one with the android and windows devices and would rather not have to buy an iPhone.
Suggestions?
If the iPad owner has a cellphone they can text from the iPad if they're logged into their Apple ID *and* have enabled SMS messaging in the "Messages" app.

I used Pulse for several years, and it worked great.
