Timex Sinclair 1000 on a 42″ 1080P LCD Television

For fun, I hooked up a Timex Sinclair 1000 to my TV and wrote a short program.

Here’s my whole setup. Three devices are running Linux, one OS X, and then whatever Cox puts on their POS DVR.

HTPC Rebuild

by @ May 1, 2006. Filed under htpc

I reinstalled the OS on my “HTPC” once again, this time moving from Knoppmyth to Ubuntu Dapper. I was quite surprised to see the tv-out on my video card worked on boot, and even all the way through starting X. After setting a default user to login, and x11vnc for controlling the screen, I was surprised at how little time it took to finish the project.

Now I can control my HTPC using VNC Viewer on my Nokia 770, any other computer, or a mouse/keyboard i have hidden under the television stand.
