Title: Anyone gotten a MicroClient jrMX to work as a MD?
Post by: nosebreaker on March 16, 2011, 07:44:11 PM
I have an older one of these units (the Jr, only 200MHz), and just saw they have a newer one out.  This would make a great basic MD, throw it on an old 15" LCD with a VESA mount and you don't even see the unit!

I cant see any details of what the graphics are on the JrMX other than it has a VGA port...but it sounds like it wont be anything very powerful and therefore its prbably not going to handle playing video too well. The 512Mb of RAM may be a problem too. However its an interesting piece of hardware.

All the best

I'll just do the same thing I did with my 386 when I wanted to play 3D games, run at 320x200 and shrink the screen down to 3" x 2" :)

Yeah I didn't think about the video on it, probably not useful for much other than an orbiter.  They do have a touch screen LCD that might be good for an orbiter, if not for the $400 price tag!
