It must be possible. One of the showcase vids on Youtube the 5000 LCD was projected on a larger screen.

Yes. It does nothing so far.......With or without a card in slot one. Hopefully they will be able to activate it with an update in the NEAR!!!!!! future. That would be awsome. I was about to sell the extra RAM, but i'm keeping it now.

Hey Guys,

Just purchased MPC5000 and I mean just did as it's still sealed in box as I type this! First post in forum and first MPC ever. The first thing I want to do is update to OS2, I just want to confirm it is okay to update the OS then upgrade the RAM?

Any other help, feedback suggestions greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

I did find a wood craftsman that will custom make me some (like the ones in the pic below) for $400. I havent done it yet though. I'm hoping to find some for cheaper or at least a cheaper wood craftsman.

The pic below was posted by someone who was selling their custom 5000 months back.
