Well, my Intel ITX D201GLY board is perfectly happy to boot without a keyboard and mouse, with the monitor cable unplugged. There is no BIOS setting for disabling the on-board video. Thinking a little more, I would most likely have the EMC2 computer mounted in the logic cabinet with a 7 inch display in the cover, but it's nice to know I have the option. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
