Re: M1 OEM Kit

I've got an M1 OEM kit, but I haven't gotten around to the hack yet. You
should check out www.aeinnovations.com/notes for more information about
whats involved (this is, of course, a wonderful set of instructions for
the hack written by resident guru Don Papp).

The M1 OEM doesn't include the optics contained in the M1 package, but you
can get the lens from Tekgear for about $10 and the other necessary optics
can come from Edmund Optics for around $75.

On the upside, the driver board for the OEM kit is much smaller and
consumes much less power.

And, just so you know, I plan to use the M1 with the tv out from my
5822... Hopefully this project will finally get off the ground in the next
few weeks and I can give you more useful information. Until then, keep us
updated on what you find!
