Hi, Thanks for the ideas. I already have a CRT which works great but its totally massive (33Kg) and takes up a whole desk. I use LCD panels mainly to save deskspace. The iiyama is pretty good, and will sync on green, etc, but seems to loose horizontal sync with some older framebuffers.

LCD Panel recommendations

by silvercreekvalley＠yahoo.com

I'm looking to upgrade my current LCD panel 'collection' to something that will cope a bit better with the various classic systems I have. The main thing is that the panel should be able to sync to a very wide range of signals. My current iiyama will cope with a fair range (eg older style VGA through to the more unusual Sun resolutions), but struggles to lock onto some signals and gives a scrolling picture. As there is no way of adjusting the H V hold like the older monitors, its awkward, and means swapping to a regular CRT. Any recommendations?

Licensing FAT file system?

by cclist＠sydex.com

I ran across this curious squib on one of the embedded development sites: "Important: FAT file system is owned by Microsoft and must be licensed from them if you intend to sell a product that uses it. More information can be found on Microsoft's web site." Is this really true? There's so much (public domain) prior art to the FAT filesystem that I find it hard to believe that it would be patentable. --Chuck

slightly OT: replacing ebm papst fan

by keithvz＠verizon.net

I've got a piece of equipment where a single ebm-papst fan has failed on a fan tray that contains 8 fans. The manufacturer wants $2500 for a new fan tray. This seems like a waste of money to me and I'd like to fix it myself. The entire equipment refuses to stay powered up with one bad fan. The fan is made by ebm-papst, part number 3214J/2H4F-191, 24V DC, 1.2 amp, 29w. I'm pretty sure it's a "VerioFan" which implies it can be variably controlled for RPMs, and then it has a tach output. These feed back to a motherboard. Is anyone familiar w/ how the signaling works between the PCB and the fan? Maybe PWM? I believe there are 4-pins on one connector (molex style 2x2), and then another 2-pin header which is glued (epoxied) in place. Is it possible to fake out the tach feedback by simply connecting those wires to another working fan? I'm in the process of searching for datasheets, but I believe this model is discontinued. Thanks Keith
