I've modded a couple of mine with Bluetooth serial modules to support control from an iPad for input selection.

Not sure how I missed this before, but this is a cool hack!

@shirsch did you ever try the scaler on a plus or 512k as per my previous post #89 about poor quality result?

Sorry to say I never did. However, I'm currently fighting with ZigzagJoe's 30video board in 1024x768 mode. The Extron is very unhappy with the timing. This is the first such case I've seen where nothing would dial in a proper display. The next time I have a Plus or 512 on the bench I will try to remember to hook up the Extron.

Can't you just connect display directly to 30video thats how I do it?

None of my LCD displays will sync to the 30video's 1024x768 timing. Talked to Joe and it's a known issue.

I see I'll have to try mine again felt sure it worked?
