Aceldamor:
Sweetness, thanks for working on something like this for the benefit of all of us......the more options we have out there the better. I know Bioart is working on something also.


Edit *  BTW...did you get my e-mail with the LCD info?
TheGatesofBill:
I PMed you, Aceldamor, about the screens and got no response. And the seller said he would sell me one, than stopped answering my e-mails. >:(
Aceldamor:
Got your PM....sent him an e-mail...waiting to see how many he's got together..I'll PM you with quantities   ;D

just wanted to say, i bought one too, i have it here now, and i'm going to start to hook it up in the morning.  My cabinet will be done within a week or two tops, and i just had to have this.  I hope we can all help each other here, i'm kind of shooting in the dark, here.

good luck to you all!

ok, i got power to it, i tried to use the fan power, but after testing, i found that it only produced around 4VDC, so i used the extra floppy power wire, the red produced 5VDC and the Blacks are GND, don't use yellow, it has 12VDC i used an spdif cable from a local computer store for 2.98 and used 1 staple from a staple gun, cut the staple into 3 pieces,  jammed the 2 short pieces into the spdif cable then connected the spdif cable to the floppy cable, and it powered up!  I got every "text box" to light up in black. I also bought a serial extension cable (straight through) 10ft for 8.98, but am having problems getting it to connect so far.  I'm using Windows 2000, I'm not sure if that's the problem or not, I may have to hack the cable like Maraxle.  If anyone has any useful info, it'd be appreciated, I hope the info I provided will be of some use to someone.   ;D
 
thanx in advance
