This range covers all three of my normal power sources: 10.8v batteries, 12v AC/DC adapter, and 14v auto cigarette lighter socket. > or you can supply it with +5V directly by opening it up. Even better. I think I will remove the pcb from the enclosure and re-package it into a new case along with my power regulator, microcontroller circuitry, and GPS receiver. This will be about the same size as the CPU module, and I can position the modules on opposite sides of my body. > Details on the tekgear site. I'm smiling at the fact that I am from Winnipeg where tekgear is located. It's kinda cool that I am here in silicon valley using technology from good ole winterpeg, the land of snow and ice. I can picture the frost beginning to form on the M1s up there right about now. hee hee. > SVGATextmode should do it.

Thanks everyone. > I have not yet been able to get Xwindows working on > the crappy pc104 vga board I got, but I am still trying. I'm surprised. What VGA board is that? And BTW what main board are you using without graphics chip? I am able to look at x-windows with the M1 already, but it looks pretty fuzzy using the normal settings ... >> - Has anyone ripped apart the eyepeice > But of course! > http://aeinnovations.com/projects/m1-hmd/ Don, I knew you were a hacker, but I didn't know you had done this work with the M1. I'm impressed. Will be looking at your work very carefully before I slice and dice my M1 :) > I have since updated the design and have some new > pics to put up sometime.

I was planning to rip apart the $2500 MicroDisplay kit originally. I think I will follow in the footsteps of you and Cliff, and use the M1 and a PLM-A35 as "training wheels" in preparation for hacking an expensive 800x600 field sequential color HMD. The cost of errors will be a lot less painful. And the odds of me getting the final result will be much better. Thanks, Doug
