I went ahead and attached a Molex connector onto the end of an old keyboard I had in the garage.
Using the wiring pin-outs from Tilt, I plugged the keyboard into my LCD computer.
First thing I noticed is that the NUM lock was lit up...cool!
I played with some DOS commands.
How in the world do I set the Time? lol
Reminds me of my mother's VCR blinking all the time... rotflmao
I hate the focus continually adjusting on my camera...>>>

Or you can set it in CMOS if you can get in.  Hit "F2" to enter setup.  I'm curious to know if yours is password protected too, and if so, if the password is the same as mine?  The CMOS memory seems to be write protected.  I can change it and save it, but when it reboots it's the old one again.

I'll play with that too.
For now, I want to see if the jumper next to the MMLBII sockets do anything.
I wonder if I cross a jumper will it enable the MMLBII's earphone jack.
I'm thinking of adding a pair of headphones for late-night play...lol

I figured out how to change the password.  After you're in the CMOS menu, change it under security submenu (if you hit return twice it disables the password), then move to the exit screen, navigate to Backup CMOS to flash, hit enter, then save changes and exit.  If you don't back it up from CMOS to flash it won't save the changes when it reboots.

awesome.
I know there's 3 hidden files.
Where they are - I don't know...lol
I opened the side panel and have the LCD computer sitting on top of my desktop.
I'm using the power from the desktop computer that normally runs to the hard drives and CD rom drive.
I'm lucky my 4-pin power harness is long enough to reach the back of my LCD computer.
Plugged underneath is the keyboard AMP plug I've made for it.

I'm digging around the the file system...
It has windows and everything.
It's exactly like an older computer.
It just doesn't have all the normal connectors we use today.
I turn it on/off using my computer's power button.
I'm pretty one of these headers is for an ATX on/off switch.

That was cool...I pressed "Ctrl, Alt and Del" buttons  simultaneously and it reboots - just like normal!
It goes reading the whole thing back to the "Enter new time:"...lol
the time is accurate too!

ADD: But if it's powered on and back again - it reverts back to "12:00:49.98a"...hmm...
sounds like your password when it wasn't-saving-it-syndrome... Tongue Out

Hit the F2 key before it starts booting.  It sounds like your CMOS battery may be low/dead if it won't keep the time after a reboot?  On most regular computers you'd get an error message saying CMOS battery low, but these things are a bit different.

After you use the RFA card to upgrade, you need to remove it.

Was your password sevens1 too?

Try setting your date/time from the CMOS menu and see if it keeps it, after you goto exit, save, exit.

Yes....Password was the same ...now it's "vision" lol
I keep the RFA card in it...It's more fun that way.
Remember, my LCD computer is on pure standalone mode...
It's not in the machine.
I have it sitting on top of my computer tower on top
of a couple of chip tubes... rotflmao
It won't get past the "Please wait...Initializing...." mode because it
doesn't have any connection to the SB chip.

Unless I can make my s2000 wireless.... Tongue Out

I'm not sure that's such a good idea, as the C drive is flash, and flash memory has a finite number of write cycles before it fails. Every time you boot with the RFA, you're overwriting the same system files on the flash... and older flash (these are old technology) fails more quickly than newer flash does..

If it blows, could I replace it with a socket and throw a newer flash chip in?

Most of that stuff is SMD, and I'm not aware of any sockets available... not to mention it would need to be pin for pin compatible with the old flash.

okay...good answer Brichter! Thanks...
Here's something I wanted to try.
I typed in MPLAYER.exe right? because I saw it in the boot up as it was loading files.

The LCD answers me with "This program requires Microsoft Windows."
Does that mean I have to hook up a hard drive and throw in a copy of like WIN95?  rotflmao
