I'll order one and give it a try.

This may need a special USB 'Y' power cable to get enough current to operate. I had to buy them for some external hard drives, and a DVD burner.

re: the CPU
I meant to followup on that but just forgot.? I'll have to open it up
again or see if I can tell from the photo a model number. There is a
large an Altera chip and Altera was bought out by Intel in 2015.? Don't
know if their chips still carry the Altera name.
Ok, from looking at the photo I think the Altera chip is a Cyclone IV
which apparently is a FPGA.? Ill look at some other chips too.
I appreciate everybody's ideas and encouragement on following up on this
thing.? No plans to sell it or anything it's too nice to have a Tek
prototype you can carry in your shirt pocket even if it is basically a
paper weight.
