There's *got* to be something we can do with this thing! Ideas?

As long as I don't have to run Linux on it. ;-)

I worked with the PXA255 @ Intel (and the PXA 270, too). It's the most
horrid chip to set up and get working the way you want it (the power
management modes are almost impossible to understand). You're better off
doing something with an Atmel ARM board of any sort.

That's exactly the kind of thinking that led to much of the crap on the
market today.  Now forget that nonsense and get back to analog modules. :)

Hmmm...too small to be a good paperweight.  The edges are too sharp 
for the dog to fetch.  Operating my synth over Bluetooth kind of 
defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

More appropriate would be to say that there's got to be something we can do with this thing:

Let's see, 1 volt per octave times...

In college I rebuilt a Picker MASH X-ray machine and took quite a few 
x-rays with it.  I did a lot of electronics equipment and got photos 
of the pcb traces, components, and bond wires inside the transistors.
The 100 KV cables and the giant console and meters were quite
interesting.  I still have a spare 100 KV meter.  Maybe I should
interface it into my MOTM!

The lead gloves and apron were also kind of neat.  Funny thing,
the Heathkit FET voltmeter never really did work after being x-rayed
for 20 minutes ...

I think every MOTM setup needs a COMPENSATOR meter.  I know I do!

Ivan

I'll bet Larry Hendry could hook that to his MOTM somehow.    Especially 
as one of those meters reads 0 to 115 Kilovolts!

I have some VERY nice white face Westinghouse panel meters that were made in
1934.  I have one voltmeter and one ammeter.  They are too big (about 5"
round) for my MOTM set up.  But, I am planning to build a nice table lamp
for my studio with these on it.  Maybe I should make the lamp voltage
controlled with some kind of TRIAC arrangement.  I often have access to
large meters 4" to 8" that are marked in high voltages and currents.  We
pretty much us only digital these days.  If someone has a particular
interest, I'll be happy to keep my eyes open.  I have some now I am not
planning to use that were from a hydroelectric dam generator control.

I have a bunch of old ham radio, `scope, etc pieces and boxes of
old 
tubes if anyone's interested…
