Hardware Talk :: Damn Small Machine in DSL Store!



Bought the DSL machine with the 1Gig Flash drive about a month ago for a data aquisition project (if it works, will need 25 more). Haven't even plugged it in yet but thinks it's great and is going to fill the bill. (my programmer has same opinion). Silly me, didn't order the usb pen drive at that time.  Since then, have ordered the cd, book and plan to install on flash drive with our program to create as shippable product. Strange thing though, on original order, the DSLmachine came in with an eBoxs Driver cd for xp/2k - 98/me in the box and nothing else.  Haven't a clue what it's for ? :p  any help?
Good question. XP at 800MHZ? Eugh.

My DSM is running fine - USB (Sexy 1GB Intelligent Stick to match sexy DSM) install boots speedily toram, whereupon it feels like the fastest machine on the planet.

Anyone keen on turning the Via Enhanced Xine Player into a UCI, so DSM owners can have a silent multimedia centre? Okay, need for a USB2.0 HD to store all the Media...
If there is any information available [like a users manual on this Machine I would love to get a copy
How do I open it up again to install a 1" hard drive? :p
Under the motherboard is a slot for a 2.5 inch hard drive. I installed a 60 GB Seagate in my DSM. In the package for DSM is a ribbon cable for attaching the hard drive. It isn't difficult to install. It will be easy if you have or get a 5mm nut driver to take out the stand off posts under the motherboard. If you have specific questions I will be happy to answer if I can.
I'm wondering about the DSM. How's the multimedia support? Although I doubt anyone would place many (if any) movies on a 256mb/1GB flash card, I'm still curious if the DSM hardware supports the codecs provided through a MyDSL extension.
