Neoware CA1. 5 Thin Client. Specifications. For the Neoware thin clients there is a handy document. HP which you can use to identify exactly what you have. In my case the label on the back of the unit reads CA1. BV 0. 1 CC. This breaks down as. BVProduct Line. G1. The circuit board inside the box0. Software. Standard software. Platform. 1 CE. NETCFlash Capacity. Neoware IncC 3. 2Mb. CRAM Capacity. C 1. 28. Mb. Apparently CA1. Bcom number, the marketing number being C5. The basic specs are Processor Type. Speed. VIA Samuel 2. MHz. Memory Flash. RAM3. 2M max 1. 02. Damn Small Linux Board Neoware E100. but wouldnt let me install to. but does anyone have any useful information about these besides whats on the Neoware. M1. 28. MB max 5. MBVideo Chip. Max resolution. VIA VT8. Apollo CLE2. 661. Ports Network. USBSerial. Parallel. PS2. 101. USB2. 0. 11. Kybd mouse. Power Off. Running. W1. 4 1. 8WPower Supply. Unlike a lot of other thin clients the Neoware CA1. The mains. lead has a clover leaf style connector rather than the more usual kettle style. If. your CA1. 5 came without a lead these are easy to source. CPUVIAs processors seem to be loosely named. C7C3Eden etc actually cover a range of capabilities. For those to whom it matters here is some detail from Linuxs proccpuinfo. Centaur. Haulscpu family 6model 7model name VIA Samuel 2stepping 3. Expansion. Both the Flash memory and the RAM in the CA1. Note Click on the image. CA1. 5 for a larger view. Flash The flash is a Disk. On. Module that interfaces via a 4. IDE connector. The system will quite happily boot from a Compact Flash card or 2. RAM The RAM is a 2. DDR SODIMM. I havent been able to locate an actual. CA1. 5 supports, but the 1. MB module fitted is a DDR4. PC3. 20. 0 unit. I have successfully replaced it with 2. MB module that I had to hand. DDR3. 33. Michael Steele emailed to say that hes successfully installed. MB Crucial Part Number CT8. PC2. 70. 0. USB Teun Kloosterman emailed me to point out that the PCB has an area adjacent to the. DOM which is labelled USB1 see photo for detail. Unlike the CA1. 9 there is no header fitted to it. He soldered in a header and found hed gained an extra USB port. Motherboard USB pinouts are usually as shown left. In this case we we only have a single USB port. Pin 1 is clearly marked with a white arrow head. Having soldered in the header Teun got a little inventive. Now I took a cheap USB stick apart and soldered a flat cable to it. Covered it in shrink wrap. On the other side I made a 4 pin molex connector et voila. I now have 2 GB more storage inside. I soldered in a header but took an easier approach to checking it out. Digging around I found. USB connector and used that see photo below. If you dont have one to hand. Having a look just now I found USB header was moderately successful. There is space inside to coil up the cable. Over the years Im sure Ive seen. USB backpanel to motherboard connectors where the cabling has been to two single strip connectors rather. DIL connector which is the example shown below. Compact Flash Socket. If you look at the circuit board by the 4. IDE connector you can see that it is actually tracked. Compact Flash card socket. Caleb Mayfield noticed this and decided to get adventurous. He sourced. a suitable socket from Mouser Electronics and soldered it to. It works well. He used a 3. M part number N7. E5. 0 Q5. 16. RB 5. WF. Google should help you find an in country supplier. Sorry about the mixed orientation of the two photos. The before picture is of my CA1. Caleb. His motherboard was out of the case at that time and I didnt have the. Net result is that there is a 1. Im sure you can sort that out. In my photograph the support pillar for the flash module is also still in place you obviously. Compact Flash card into your new socket In each photograph you can also see the added header for the internal USB port. Last update July 2.
