Dear DuoListers,
I've been thinking about a hack that I don't think I will try to do, but I've been wondering if anyone else might have considered it or would be willing to speculate about it.
There are tons of older unused PowerBooks in existence (in attics, closets, boxes, drawers and, of course, in my office). It seems a waste. One way to "harvest" parts from Powerbooks we no longer use would be to transform the TFT screens into small LCD monitors. I've looked into it a bit and it seems feasible, although perhaps a bit expensive and time-consuming to do. It will involve significant modifications and adding off-the-shelf or custom made parts.
Interested in hearing your thoughts.
Best,
Robert
The problem, as I understand it, is to be able to convert the LCD signals into something your video card can understand, and vice-versa. That is not a trivial problem to solve.
