 ## Display
-See https://github.com/w4b-zero/IBM_4820-48T/tree/main for a project related to another monitor model. See if documents, notes are applicable here.
+LVDS
-High priority to get touchscreen working with adaptor. It works over serial so it shouldn't the that difficult once pinout is done and adapter is made. EloTouch drivers can be found... (see above)

 ## Power supply
 W PI Electronics from 2006 (!). Failing fan. Proprietary cradle for locking in case.
 Could swap out internals with something modern.
