Bartop Rotating Monitor style decision
darthpaul:
Looking good so far, I had thoughts about doing an auto rotating monitor bar top as well, I'll be watching for your progress.
I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since DaOld Man and me last worked on Mrotate4, I think we got most if not all the bugs worked out.

Well, I have been testing it on my win7 64 bit, and there are a few new bugs we will have to work out, but preliminary tests look real good.
Biggest drawbacks are: only two outputs (no automatic degauss), and the outputs flash on bootup. (Only fix I can come up with is a timer to disable the drive until the PC has enough time to boot to windows.)
But on the bright side, this may be a simple way to do rotating rigs in 64 bit, without having to have a USB interface.
will also work in 32 bit.

Would something like this work if you needed an additional serial port?

It probably would. I used a cheap usb to serial port adapter when testing mrotate4, and it seemed to work fine, if memory serves.
Got to load the driver that comes with the adapter first, Im sure the device you linked to would too.

I bought one of those also, I remember you doing some testing with it but I don't remember if you said it would work your Drive.
