Remy, Yeah, I've got a CE. Bought it for the so-called $99 "bargain." I've also got a 190 motherboard, a 5300(cs) motherboard (8MB RAM, 512KB VRAM), and 3 fully functional displays with 3 equally dead data cables.
Over the last few weeks I've been experimenting on my 5300cs. I've overclocked it to 117MHz (by changing the resistors on the motherboard that set the bus multiplier). I'm about to install an extra 512KB of VRAM (THANKS MAD DOG!). I'm doing lots of nifty things. Among them is figuring out how to get stereo sound out of the ITT ASCO 2300 sound controller (no, not plugging in headphones). (Anyone know where I can find the pin assignments for this? The German website <http://www.itt-sc.de/> seems to be gone.) I'm not too interested, necessarily, in getting 16bit color on the cs display (since it's data cable is toast anyway - hope to upgrade to a C or CE), but I am curious about what my options are. But thanks for the confirmation on that 4000 colors issue. I thought I had read that somewhere... So now I wonder what will happen if I do it anyway! ;-) Can't harm the hardware, can it (I mean, besides slip-ups during soldering in the VRAM)? What happens to an LCD when you try to display more colors than it physically supports? Does it do that funky "shimmer" thing, or is there something more sinister to watch for?
