Touchscreen question

InvaderGIR · 16 Oct 2006 at 21:35

"The TFT adapter can optionally be connected to a 40-pin MDR connector for the touch screen, beeper, power supply and the LCD."

From here.

I'm not sure that it'd be easy for you to connect the display up to a standard pc, by the looks of things it'll cost you about $500 to get a PCI to 40-pin MDR card.

Sorry that isn't much help, although having said that it is probably possible to get a 40-pin MDR cable and wire it up to another form of connection (in theory anyways).

That's what I worked out from the manual for it, although there are ways around these things but they are overly complicated and it generally isn't worth it.

really disapointed about this really wanted to get it up and running, however i went and got one of those beetle things from ebay but it needs a different card to accept the screen and again i cant find one. The card it comes with is to big for the cable?

It should run windows 2k or so i am told.
