Another rigged thin client
Found another Neoware Thin Client at work here that has the embedded 32MB DOC (Disk on Chip) Windows CE type Operating System. Like the first one that Anthony and I rigged, I had to ghetto rig an IDE cable to another 256MB IDE Flash Card. Currently the flash is attached to a desktop to install the operating system, before it’s placed inside the thin client and closed up.
Oh yes, without the proper cable it’s ghetto, but it does work! Each pin was cut by me and once all pins were the same, put into the cable and pressed onto the chip. It’s temporary, as the pins will come out and the flash card will then press on to the IDE port inside the thin client.
I’m going to put DSL (Damn Small Linux) on this thin client and see who wants it here at work. I have no use for it, but it’s something neat to rig up.
