I'll check the rom as advised on the list; but I wouldn't be supprised if it was; the IDE port is free and unused
I think the operating system is in your ide flash board that is laying upside down in the corner of your S10 on the photo.(it belongs in the ide slot)
I then wonder, how the S50 would look like and compares to the S10 ...
I`l send you a few photos.(i don`t know if the big photos are appreciated on the list) But i can say that on first glance it looks like they are the same.
Greetings,Nils
The IDE flash unit in the top of the photo, is what I purchased seperatly. I am trying to get that to work on the S10 :) (Also it covers up the MAC address :p)
The reason why it's not working now, is because I get a message from the pata_cs5536 driver that IDE is disabled by the bios; and of course no option to enable it.
Also, I can boot a Ubuntu 10.04 USB stick (syslinux basically) and pxe with the module present, but I cannot seem to boot a USB stick with just grub on it, if the IDE module is in place. I think grub tries to probe the IDE device, but fails or is on an extremly long timeout. Strings revealed usernames, hostnames etc used by the OS/rdp/ica clients in the bios.rom I extracted; I cannot belive a flash image somewhere would write it's information into the flash chip. I'm very convinced that wyse OS is somewhere in the 2Megabyte flash and (even according to the specs) that is all that is available to the thinclient.
