Title: Programming Tipro MID Matrix with Windows x64?
Post by: funkymeeba on Mon, 21 January 2013, 15:23:38

Hey folks,

So I got my hands on this pretty rockin' little 16x8 Tipro matrix, but I seem to not have any good way to go about getting a 32-bit Windows running, and I also only have PS/2 coming from the keyboard. Has anyone come up with a clever way of reprogramming the Tipro boards with ChangeMe under a 64-bit Windows?

Thanks!

EDIT: More clarification... It's model MID-AM-KM128A. The only connections on the board are the 8-pin PS/2-esque port to connect to the PC PS/2 port, and the standard PS/2 port for an additional keyboard.

no way that i knew.

USB Controller is available for Tipro boards.

Boot DVD with Windows 32 Bit?

Or buy a crapped out old laptop of ebay for next to nothing?

I've got a crapped up old Dell sitting around, just no hard drives. May have to go pick up some crap drive for that, I guess.
