- SX-1 LE v. 1.52
I know I'm digging in here but help if you can.
I just picked up an Acer T230H 23" touch screen LCD. It works great with Windows 7 and 8 and requires no additional drivers or software as I'm told it uses an older and very common standard UID driver to operate as an input device.
I understand there are about five variations of the USB UID driver that have been used over the years. I also read that the SX-1 runs on basically BeOS 4 with the networking elements added in. Does anyone know what type of USB UID support BeOS 4 and the SX-1 offer? Does anyone know of a techy-brainy type that may have developed the SX-1 who may be at the very least be able to tell me what I need to say to a local software engineer type if I were to attempt getting this touch screen to work with the SX-1?
I found an article about Haiku being looked at by someone on the Forum who may be attempting to run the SX-1 on it. The thought of a resurgence of the SX-1 under a modern OS that people actually take interest in is really cool to say the least.
Even with the issues I have had with my SX-1, it still runs circles around anything else and I've used them all.
I know there is someone out there still tinkering with the core of this thing!
