The saga continues. Nate's new VR3 arrived today from Toronto. In fine working order and with all the pieces including the charger. This one is shark skin instead of H2O. These guys at Softfield are awesome! Nate said, "Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!" The new LCD is in process. I need to get some double-sided scotch tape to reattach the very small foam bumpers that keep the lcd and the touch panel separated. Even though the new LCD came with a new touchpanel I'm going to use the old touchpanel and save the new one for a future disaster. I need to get to rat shack to get some 30 or smaller gauge stranded wire. The charger mod will be complete on the VR3 itself and then I can modify the cradle. I know the first thing Nate did, after saying something about busybox being used for init, was to replace the heavy duty AAA's that came with it with the new 800mAH NiMH batteries that I got, and plug the whole mess in. No more AAA alkalines. Steve said, "Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I have 2 extra sharkskin plastic cases. Hmmmm. Should I leave the clear case on it or put on the pretty blue one? Hmmm, I wonder if Softfield has the ethernet adapter too? Can you say packet sniffing! Cool! Next time....................................... Look Ma It Didn't Blow Up! Or, plugging in the modded VR3 for the first time Linux on a PDA for under $150. Cool. Steve
