I too would be VERY interested in something like this. There are many times when I am out on site with customers who don't have anything connected to it and you need to figure out what is up. Even a VGA input USB keyboard/mouse and application to match it for an Android/iFail tablet would be AWESOME. I'm sure our office would buy about 10 of them the first week they were out... I have USB inputs on my tablet that work for USB headphones and USB keyboard so I would think it would just be driver and software fun.... -----Original Message----- From: Jon Lewis [mailto:jlewis () lewis org] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 8:35 AM To: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: WW: Colo Vending Machine On Sat, 18 Feb 2012, John Osmon wrote:

Speaking of that sort of thing, I'd really LOVE if there were a device about the size of a netbook that could be hooked up to otherwise headless machines in colos that would give you keyboard, video & mouse. i.e. a folding netbook shaped VGA monitor with USB keyboard and touchpad. I know there are folding rackmount versions of this (i.e. from Dell), but I want something far more portable. Twice in the past month, I'd had to drive 100+ miles to a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and keyboard with me. Has anyone actually built this yet? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
