Megatouch force software running on touchscreen pc ?
Ken Layton:
Merit probably had the video removed. They vigorously persue their rights.

Yeah, you can plug just about any monitor into those..... it's the motherboard and I/O board that is questionable as far as actual homebrew version.
So when you say "DIY" .... does it have the original Megatouch hardware then?

Wasn't much to be seen actually. Just a guy playing a Megatouch really.
No technical insight whatsoever.

Yeah, DIY in terms of original motherboard, I/O board, hard drive, and key.. The major guts to it. It's hooked up to a 3M Microtouch CRT. I moved the internals to a smaller PC chasis, and don't have any of the I/O ports connected as I have it set to free play.

That's kind of strong. Merit asked me kindly to remove the video, and other links. I oblidged. I've sent them my thoughts on the matter, and that seems to be it. I won't answer questions pertaining to the hacking of the software.
And yes, the video was just me playing a Megatouch, showing that some stuff just "wasn't right". Missing hardware serial numbers, incorrect keystrings and fake partnumbers and versions just to name a few.
Ken Layton:
Merit plays hardball with their rights and trademarks. They are always getting stories in the trade publications about them cracking down on illegal/pirated/counterfeit Megatouch machines/boards/hardware/software.
