Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) ombuman Profile | Email Hi, I was wondering if anyone has, or knows of a website that provides directions for modifying GCTPs so that you can make them into general purpose computers. Thanks for the help. -Mike G. 07-11-2001 17:31:17

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) aadam12 Profile | Email Are you serious??? THIS IS THE WEBSITE! PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! Perhaps you are looking for THIS WEBSITE? You need to pop out the Compact Flash, solder in an IDE header, get the proper cable and add a laptop hard drive (with a minor modification to the shielding). Both BigDog and BubbaDog56 will solder in and IDE header for a small fee. Contact them for prices. All drivers are at Freedrive userid: GCTP password: gctp If you are looking for any further modifications PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! 07-12-2001 09:14:23

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) BadFlash Profile | Email The hack is REALLY simple, so don't sweat it, just take your time. This is the right section for all the details. I have cables if you need them. BigDog, Bubbadog56, if you guys are selling cables let me know and I'll refer them to you. I've got enough going on if you guys want the GCT stuff. 07-12-2001 12:56:28

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) aadam12 Profile | Email Sorry, Mike G. I didn't mean to be so hard on a newbie. But, I actually did answer your question :) This board seems a little more disoriented than some of the others. A lot of discontinued and re-started threads. Took me a while to sort it all out too. Take your time, read thru the threads, and feel free to ask us for help anytime :) aadam12 07-12-2001 18:29:38

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) BubbaDog56 Profile Jack, I believe BigDog is doing cables also, I'm just soldering for now.... B'Dog P.S. - The iO parts showed up yesterday, thanks for the great deal. Now I can get the K6-450 running and speed things up a bit. I want to use this in the car, the GCT is now the official 'kitchen PC'. Gonna pick up a PalmConnect USB/serial cable for using the iO with my GPS system, if it works that'll save me the trouble of the serial mod board. 07-13-2001 09:24:58

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) wireless Profile ombuman- Glad to have another IA owner! Welcome to an awesome board... we have quite a few very talented hardware and software engineers contributing to the discussions. Keep an eye out on http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=aolgw&Post=60&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=0&Session=wireless.99529778952164 chaezewhiz and I have been pounding on 2 separate distributions (midori and jailbait, respectively) for the GCT. I hope to make my version available with some instructions (both user and developer) soon. Incremental updates hopefully will follow often from others as well as myself. -wireless 07-16-2001 11:03:26

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) clarriott Profile | Email Does the lap top hard drive fit inside teh GCTP case? 11-09-2003 01:13:11

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) MOOKIE Profile Yes but you need to have an ide header soldered onto the motherboard. Unless you have an early unit that already has one. You also need a special cable which you can probably get from Badfalsh. 11-09-2003 21:46:01

RE:Looking for Instructions on hacking GCTP (modified 0 times) JAGUART Profile Just got an Gateway AOL CTP and I'm looking to hack it. Any estimates on parts cost to get this thing "functional"? Thank you 11-17-2003 08:36:55
