Using an old shuttle

TBirdUK · 13 Oct 2009 at 01:10

GOt an old shuttle sg83g5m, the one with the vfd in the front of it - motherboard appears to be knackered so thought I'd use the psu and vfd to build a sff media center.

Anyone know how to wire one of these screens to work on another machine - the cable appears to have a Red, white, green, black and black (thick) wires and connected to a special connector on the shuttle mobo.

sorted it out, its a usb - all connected now need some software to get it to work - any ideas, XPC tools doesnt work on Vista 64!

got the vfd recognised in vista but cant get xpc tools to work, any of them - any ideas as it keeps coming up "has stopped working" on either vista 32 or 64, even if I run as administrator.

As it stands the vfd displays time and date ok, but no other funstions - help!

yep, tried it, and tried on a couple of machines too, one running x64, the other x32.
