RE:Installing a slimline cdrom in a netier netxpress sl2000 (modified 0 times) chillywilly Profile Hello Diablo, I just did this, I ordered a CDROM adapter kit for the T2000 (even though it is for a T-2000 it is identical to the SL2000). Worked like a charm all you need is a slimline cdrom. This is also a great site to get drivers for this unit if you are going to use Windows. Follow this link: http://216.36.236.148/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=E&Product_Code=T2CDMNTKIT&Category_Code=MPS2 if this link doesn't work go to http://emulatorshop.com and look for the T-2000 CDrom mounting kit. What OS are you planning to use? Currently I have RedHat 9 running on mine, eventually I would like to create a small distro of linux to run off the DOC. I would like for it to play MP3 and CD audio and put it in my car. I'm a newbie to linux so this might take a while to do. I have heard of some people on the BBS who have put on Midori, but I can't find any instructions on how to do this. thanks and good luck. ChillyWilly 07-12-2004 08:16:15

RE:Installing a slimline cdrom in a netier netxpress sl2000 (modified 0 times) diablo Profile | Email Hello ChillyWilly, Thanks alot, that will help me with my mp3 jukebox project for my car I will be running ms-dos with a free mp3 player program called Mpxplay its website is http://mpxplay.cjb.net/ The computer will be a netier sl2000 w/ a amd 266 mhz processor, a 6 gb harddrive and a serial crystalfontz lcd since mpxplay supports lcd output. I still need to figure out a way of input so I don't need a keyboard. I may map the controls to keypad or heavily modify a keyboard if I cannot find another way. Thanks again, Diablo Diablo_ve@hotmail.com 07-14-2004 20:34:38

RE:Installing a slimline cdrom in a netier netxpress sl2000 (modified 0 times) chillywilly Profile I tried the mpxplay with mpxf on a desktop system a couple of months ago and I believe you can use a numeric keypad to navigate the program. Best of luck ChillyWilly 07-15-2004 08:20:57
