Cornishbloke Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've been following Majorweld's progress with his LXi and am looking to do the same with this one. I know very little about it other than it is a more or less standard Pentium based motherboard in a rugged case. It has windows XP and a colour screen and starts up as it should. It sits on and plugs into a base which has a couple of circuit boards inside and a multipin round socket on the side. My aim is to link the radio to the laptop via a G3LIV Isoterm and to use it to send and receive PSK CW. However, I have no idea how to get any input into the machine as there are no USB ports etc. and I cannot find out even whether there is any sound or microphone capability at all. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can make progress? Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Go into Device Manager in XP and see what devices are present. It's probably got both USB and serial ports in some form. Judging by the connectors it's certainly got 1553 and Ethernet. Andy Edited April 2, 2014 by andym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Does this sound like your machine? http://www.ask.com/explore/specifications-raytheon-chameleon-raf2-mobile-pc-4248 Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishbloke Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's the one. Where would the USB port be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looking at the spec it also has "4 PCMCIA slots" for which almost every kind of peripheral card is available - certainly RS232 or USB. Are these the sockets in the large opening at the side of the computer beside the SCSI and 1553 ports? iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sayers Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hi, Guys, I believe that I have one of these models too. Should the eight Torx fasteners in the base allow the two parts of the case to be parted?
