Hmmm... symbOS is closed source, and has separate compiled versions for specific machines. I'll get it running in an emulator and try to see what it needs to run.

Well, yes and no. The sites you referenced weren't useful for ordering from, but they had a lot of keywords that helped narrow my search. Well, I want to end up running SymbOS, so I need some sort of display that supports 4 colors and a 320x200 CGA resolution. Your advice about knowing the controls ...

Hmmmm... i can't find any info on the drain of these LCDs. After some research I decided I would get a TFT LCD rather than an STN one. Color and refresh speed seem to be better. A 5.7" screen ought to do the trick, with a resolution of 320x240. It says the input is "Digital 18-Bits paralle...

Do you think it would be possible to run something like this on a battery source? I guess all you'd need is the correct voltage.

Hmmmm...

And where did you get the materials? I have a Beginner's Electronics kit with resistors, capacitors, and all, but I'm particularly interested in finding out where you got the screen.

How do you power it?

This looks very interesting. Do you think you could get SymbOS to run on it? I'm thinking of buying an old ti-83 and completely ripping it apart to see if i can get SymbOS on it. I'd need a new screen, and definitely more RAm, but it would be sooo cool. http://www.symbos.de/gfx/shots/cpc/symbos-cpc-...

Yeah, I was thinking of having four settings: slow (to conserve batteries), normal, fast, and extreme.

Dunno if you guys have seen this already...

I would assume so. I haven't seen any spambots there.

At halomods there is a type of user called "bot". Like there are members, moderators, admins and bots. MSNbot and Askjeeves hangout a lot.

So, how does one use brass? Is there a tutorial nestled somewhere in this thread or summat?

My mom tells me that when my sister asked why we had to go to bed while our mom stayed up I said "because she's 16 or something." (Was probably more like double that )

The Russians seemed like they were thrown in just to be the "bad guys". They could have been grave robbers instead and the plot wouldn't have changed much.
