This is The Way.

FreeDOS is running on a dedicated i5 desktop with 8gb ram. I wanted to get a period correct desktop machine to run MSDOS 6.22 but all the "Electronic Surplus" places have all dried up. So I built the least powered machine I could (Well I could have used an i3, but the difference in price was only $10.00. I only put in 1 of the smallest memory sticks they had ...)
I have a dos running in DOSBOX, but it's not the same as real hardware, and it's not easy to use a usb floppy drive with it. With my dedicated machine I can even boot from floppy if I want/need to.
RIP Weird Stuff, Halted Specialties, The one that used to be near the Oakland Airport and others I remember but don't remember their names. Not to mention the internet famous one in Texas - Computer Reset. Oh, now I am sad.
My production laptop is Debian, as is my server so I guess that would be the way to go then.
I had the lens pointed up. It was sitting on the camera-end cap. I was not holding the zoom ring for this test. It held the zoom for the test and remained fully extended.
A Bard, an advanced story teller, One who draws pictures of things that never were (people with 3 arms for example), Lore from Star Trek. Don't give it power to do anything on its own, always monitor it.
In case it matters to the issue the lens marking reads: "Canon Zoom Lens EF 28-135 mm 1:3.5 - 5.6 IS"
I just tried this - Lens is off the camera (and has a lens cover for both ends) sitting looking straight up. I turn zoom ring until the lens is fully extended. I wait a bit then I check for zoom movement and found that the lens was still fully extended.
I don't know if this is a valid test because sitting on a table - the lens is not getting any electricity from the camera body.
I can't say for sure, but I think I had my hand on the zoom ring. The moon will still be full enough tonight perhaps I will try again. I looked up "Focus Breathing" and I am not sure what it is really talking about.
I guess we will see how that works for me? Thanks for the hint Redd : ^ )
Thanks for the hint. : ^ )
A lot - a moon mostly filling the frame to a moon in 1/9 of the frame
My dedicated machine ignores disk swap on 2 of the 3 USB drives I have. The third one seems to be ok though.
