My thanks to those who take the time to email me - either with questions or with suggestions/news about what you've been doing. I try and respond fairly promptly to all emails - so if you've been ignored for a few days do try again as there is always a chance that your email has been misfiled by my ISP's spam filter. Your emails often do lead to updates of this website where I may add additional information and/or reword sections to save others having to ask the same thing. If it is something new you've discovered/done then it may well get added with an appropriate acknowledgement.
Having discovered an interesting site on somebody's use of the t5720 I've decided to add a "links" tab to the hardware pages. If you know of good descriptions of the use to which particular thin clients have been put please email me the details so that I can add them to the site.
Updates in the last 12 months:
| 16/01 | Sorted out the Wyse WT3125SE. Added a 'download tab' for anybody who wants to try linux on the WT3125SE. |
| 08/01 | I'm currently doing some work on a Wyse WT3125SE. As a result, 18 months late, I've finally got around to writing up my current tool set for use with Wyse thin clients and also the Evo T20 and T30. |
| 14/12 | I have started to restructure the site. There should be no visible difference to users. Instead of having all the thin client directories sitting in /thin/ they are (will be) more hierarchical. e.g. /thin/NeoCA5 is now /thin/neoware/CA5. I'm using an automatic redirect to deal with this, but please update any links you may have to the new locations. |
| 12/12 | Added Michael Straw's words and photos of the Neoware CA22. Added the Wyse lap-top style X90L. |
| 06/12 | Updated the Linux section on the RWT205CE. Added a "links" tab to the t5720. |
| 03/12 | Added the NComputing L230 thin client. |
| 03/11 | Hopefully added an RSS feed to the site for those that use such things. |
| 03/11 | Added a column to the hardware summary to show the type of replaceable RAM fitted to each model. It also shows at a glance which models come with fixed RAM. |
| 02/11 | Added the Neoware CA9 to the site. |
| 31/10 | An update on how to set up a Tiny Core based Web server suitable for running on a thin client. |
| 28/10 | Added stuff on SX0 (S10) firmware and experience of booting Tiny Core 4.0 on an S10. |
| 12/10 | Added the VXL 3200 series. Added words on PXE booting to the projects pages. |
| 25/07 | Updated the Relisys RWT205CE pages following an email from Mario from Romania. |
| 19/07 | Added the HP t5325. I've also revamped the left-hand menu as it was getting ridiculously long. It now has buttons for each manufacturer. A sub-menu of models now only appears when a particular manufacturer is selected. For the full picture you need to go to the summary page. Some other small changes have been made to the organisation of the site and an article on why some SODIMMs don't deliver their stated capacity appears under the hardware section. |
| 15/07 | Added the 10Zig RBT-402/Clientron U700. A few other minor edits. |
| 06/06 | Added the Wyse WT1200LE. |
| 14/05 | Added the Igel Compact (3210 CE). Added words on Igel to the manufacturers page. |
| 09/05 | A few more additions (e.g. Netvoyager 1010LX). I've finally got round to writing up stuff on the Wyse Vx0 series. Added a little more info on adding additional USB ports to the Neoware CA15. Added a suggestion from Caleb Mayfield about soldering a Compact Flash socket to the CA15. Added Kevin Bosworth's info on overclocking the eSeSIX-WLGX01. |
I've had the odd request as to exactly which VIA CPU was fitted to a particular model. As a result I've started to add some details from the Linux /proc/cpuinfo data to the website. Over time I'll be retrofitting this to the existing entries as-and-when the opportunity arises. If you want that information for a particular model now then email me. I'm not promising anything but I may dig out that model and update the web page within a day or so.
[7th June 2011] I just came across an old bookmark in my browser. This was to netrenderer, a website that shows you how a URL displays in various flavours of Internet Explorer. To my chagrin I discovered that IE7 screwed up on this site. How long this has been the case I have no idea - and nobody has complained. A couple of tweaks of the CSS file has improved matters as far as IE7 is concerned and I hope not affected anybody else's view. It's still not perfect for IE7 but as only 4% of visitors use IE7 that's where it is staying.
[4th August 2010] I've become aware that there are problems with some of the pages on this site with older Microsoft browsers. Hopefully I've fixed all that I can and you should get a reasonable presentation of the pages if you're using IE6 or above. What ever your browser, if things don't work, please have a moan via the link that's at the bottom of every page. (This presumes that your browser has managed to get as far as showing this page!)
Any comments? email me. Last update January 2012
