<t>I agree with earlier post that the system staying as is for as long as possible may be the best course as for the original intent of the device as an educational device is that is be a stable platform. There will be a lot of documentation and tutorials generated for the education relea...

I have an tk-800R unit that is similar to yours I have 4 older machine attached to it right now and it is hooked to a 19" Polaroid TV LOL.

Wish I could attach the PI to it but will suffice hooking it to the TV with HDMI directly.

<t>Bureaucrats, My fear is they are as lazy as the ones I work with, I have been waiting for 3 months on one and 4 months on another machine for a $300.00 surge suppressor so I can fix each of these 1/2 million dollar machines and can not get them to order the suppressors, I built one sup...

<t>I would add that the Linux thinking is it's weakness, setting up a lamp server is not as EASY as it seems unless you are a experienced Linux user (and I mean command line experience also)and each flavor of Linux has it's own hurdles to obtain that server configuration. The good news is...

Good find I can definitely make use of that.

<t>Sorry Tass I do not agree I believe the RPF was always going to sell the public to finance their project from the start. If they were not going to sell to the public then the media results would have been different. I think this whole thing has blossomed out of the RPF's con...

<t>Tufty I mentioned in a much earlier thread almost exactly what you have said and was called a troll by an admin and at the time of that post there was 125k + OF MAILING LIST and that was growing almost exponentially by the week, as well as the forum members 12k+ wanting 2 to 10 boards each for th...

Traditional mounting hardware is not going to work since the Raspi does not have mounting holes.

I would suggest double sided tape as a solution, it needs to be thick enough to hold the board of the bottom and the same thickness as the SD card socket would probably work best.

<t>I share your frustration but not sure I would implicate RPF much less two major distributors in a vaporware scheme, they are real if absolutely disorganized at this point. Ponzi scheme? I think that is a little harsh. This is probably going to create even more delay but may ...

<t>I am not sure why you are seemingly against this Idea, 1. Most schools wouldn't let the children mess about in the OS which they can on the Raspi. 2. They can take it home and continue the adventure, (while my children always had older systems they could do what they wanted ...

<t>Content wise he has answered it as I would have. I would suggest you look to tiger-direct or newegg and get a cheap AMD dual core machine to build this as it eliminates the all the hurdles except one the price. for about 209 right now you can get everything you need and a 64...

<r>My understanding is that wine is not going to work since it is based on X86 architecture. Also looking at its web page they do not even really say what system specs are needed other than direct X 9 is required so that probably is not going to be a Raspi. <URL url="http://www...

<t>like you keep saying we will have to see, I agree with others that 700ma is probably running @ or near full potential and idling should consume a lot less, I have a USB extension that I have cut out the red wire and check the consumption with a multimeter in that way and it can be infused into Pi...

Does anyone here have 80 devices they need to charge at once, and if you do the least of your problems is a $200 80 port USB (LOL)especially since all it can do is charge.

Vindicator

Thank you for posting this it is very interesting and gives insights that I wish modern game writers would utilize.

<t>At my job I use a $2500 Laptop to talk to a PLC unit (SLC500) and the Raspi could easily do this except I do not think there is a Linux version of RSlogix and it would not certainly be ARM compatible but it would save the Army $2500 for a $900 dollar laptop at least. The RSlogix (from ...

Firefox preferred on most of my systems wife uses IE9 (I think it sucks) IE9 at work (because they suck) and do not have a choice.

SeaMonkey on my Puppy machine, I have also tried Ice Weasel.

Firefox is getting a little bloated maybe they want to make people mad like IE9

<t>The cable in your link is a passive cable and will not work with the Raspberry-pi you would need an active converter to get analog signal from the digital signal that is sent from the Raspi's HDMI port. If you read the notes on the page it confirms you need a converter to use this cabl...

<t>I have 4 monitors in my home and all of them support VGA/DVI, and out of 5 TV's in the house 3 support VGA and HDMI, all of the TV's have composite and all but 1 has component available The big problem is that to add VGA to the Raspi would likely cost most of what it would cost to buy ...
