Progress
- 12:50, 24 March 2010 (CDT) Replaced ISA video card, cloned original hdd onto a SD card, and replaced 15" CRT with a 15" LCD to get it up and running. Current status is that it's running and it thinks that it's printing despite not spraying any wax.
- 12:50, 24 March 2010 (CDT) Ratmandu and Preauxphoto checked with the NASA MSFC Technical Library and rapid prototyping lab to see if they knew anything about it. While they remembered it, they had no documentation on it. They referred Ratmandu to the rp-ml list. Ratmandu and Strages joined the list.
- 12:50, 24 March 2010 (CDT) Strages looked back through all the old threads and found a lot of discussion about the BPM 2100, from when it debuted to when the company collapsed, but no links to documentation or anything. He sent an e-mail to the list asking if anyone had any documentation but hasn't found what he's looking for yet.
