Wow, this one brings back memories.

I've ran one of the https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/z/z90d7/ for some years as a cheap (40€) homeserver and then later as a break-music-playback-machine for concerts with spotifyd.

And over 10 years ago I had one of the https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/EvoT20/ to play around with. I never really got that one working in a meaningful way though.

Both times this page helped out a lot with technical details! Nice to see it on here. A treasure trove of hacking starting points to repurpose quite slow, but still useful hardware (and saving it from a landfill).



~ 9W running when off (?)


very common with flash based doodads. check out what cable tuners are drawing when 'off'.
