I want to find a small VGA screen we can put on the vehicle to let us sort those cases out, but the smallest analog VGA LCD screen I have found is 10" so far. ----- Philips makes a 6.4" vga lcd designed for embedding, though finding someone to buy it from was slightly more difficult to find out. Here are a couple of resellers: http://www.stealthcomputer.com/monitors_flat-OEM.htm http://www.usmicroproducts.com/prod_tft_displays.htm#Philips A better option might be to go with one of the many small consumer LCDs at http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&DID=7&WebPage_ID=41 . They are reasonably high-res, but only take composite input, so you'd need a graphics card that can drive a tv or some other form of converter. Amusing article at http://www.mikhailtech.com/modules.php?name=Articles&rop=showcontent&id=22 . Finally, assuming the network is still up, the easiest thing to do might be to just use VNC to connect to the display remotely. We use this all the time at work, works great on linux or windows, and makes managing remote machines a gazillion times easier. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ Joel _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
