the list for the beta units is getting longer and longer, first come first served.
Is there room for one more on the beta list Michael? PLEASE!

Michael,

Would you consider polling your potential beta testers to consider whether they would accept the incorrect gorilla glass screen to get the beta testing/debugging underway? It may be worth considering, as the beta units will possibly have a couple of dollars off the sticker price and an incorrect screen is not really a big deal. It gets things moving, and probably helps puta bit of sex and sizzle into the forum too as beta feedback comments will start to flow. Just a suggestion...

Kind regards,

Kim Wood
Kim,

I prefer not having wrong labeled calculators out in the wild. Google never forgets and people keep searching for it.

Mark, please write me an email and I'll put you on the list to get notified. But if you hang out in this forum once in a while you'll notice anyway. Perhaps this forum even lets me send announcement emails to the members...

I have just found out about this project and am VERY excited about it!

I was so close to buying an old 42s off ebay, but I hate to spend so much on something so old. Your new unit looks amazing. So much better than the original.

Is there any way I can get on the beta?

I received my DM42 today and tried the USB by pressing 4 to Activate USB Disk. With a USB cable attached, I receive a message that "USB Write Mode" and press any key to exit. Neither my MAC or PC see the DM42 as an external drive.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you,

Jerry

not sure... I guess the cable you use is known good?
Does the display in the right hand top corner switch from BAT to USB once plugged in?

Does the BAT/USB flag only refer to USB power, or does it also signal a valid USB enumeration?
