The XP driver used on the TLA7012 made all mouse functions dysfunctional. How does Your touch screen works on Windows 7? --- End quote --- It does. I don't remember if it worked out of the box or if I had to download the drivers from here: https://www.elotouch.com/support/downloads#/ There is a control panel applet for calibration. It says "Elo Touchscreen Control Panel. Version 5.8.2" --- Quote from: pquadrat on July 10, 2019, 07:48:50 pm ---Do You think an Advantech AIMB-582QG2 board is worth a try? --- End quote --- Cannot tell, mine just came with it and PCI works, so that's all I have. |

I know this from personal experience, because I have done this for a customer, a manufacturer of similar high bandwidth equipment. These settings could be put in the EEPROMs attached to the switches, or even set in the bridges at run-time. One could even argue that mainstream mainboard manufacturers don't put in a lot of effort to get the most our of these settings. Or, alternatively, go for very safe settings, compatibility wise. --- Quote from: TiN on June 22, 2019, 12:11:13 am ---I run my TLA with Core Extreme CPU and 4GB RAMs + SSD, found it nice enough to use for all my needs. Should find some time to try TLA7SA16 module in action, oh well.. --- End quote --- On the standard board? Please do tell us more! |

Hi, I have a first generation TLA7012 with no disk. The BIOS talks when powered up there is nothing to boot. I want to install a disk and OS. I assume I'll need the chipset and device drivers for the Radisys AB915GM mother board. Can someone please tell me were to get them. Thanks |

Pentium M are rather weak so I'd keep it on XP. You can _NOT_ upgrade to an i5 since it has a different socket and architecture. Given your current processor speed I'd say it has a Banias based Pentium M. ie 400 MHz FSB so it might not be compatible with the later Dothan cores. It all depends on bios and chipset version. Windows 10 is much easier on the hardware than Windows 7 but I still don't think it has the grunt to properly run it. Don't believe the Windows 7 fanboys |

Don't bother too much. The Tektronix software runs slow anyway and it doesn't use the processor fully. |
