| 208432 | 2004-01-19 04:33:00 | Just about everything is running of USB these days. The combonation of relatively high speed and power is a winner. After a long think would it be possible to make (such as a HP - not DIY) a monitor that runs on usb? with Special drivers and a low power LCD or one of those flexi LED screens would this be possible? Just a random thought... what do you think? |

| 208436 | 2004-01-19 09:44:00 | lol you'll never see USB-RAM, the response time needs to be nano-seconds, not the milliseconds that would come from some old fangled port. You'd also need some RAM to set up mem locations etc lada lada la. I don't think you'd need to push enough data through USB, even USB2. VGA has been setup with monitors, refresh rates, voltage, data etc etc, USB has been set up for data transfer only, not really to work with refresh rates/vsync etc etc... Maybe a little USB LCD (like the 5" PS2/1 LCD's) but interfacing it would be an absolute *****, you'd have to re-write a whole lot of drivers at least! - David |
