Today I came across some issues with PAM, and due to the lack of documentation available, I decided to dig deeper on the internet.

I found a group of texts written by Jennifer Vesperman from O'Reilly Media, on aroundly 2002. Her work documenting and explaining PAM is really helpful.

Reading things through the Wayback Machine isn't great, specially on old websites, so I decided to bring everything I found and place it in a PDF, with a table of contents and everything simplified.

Aaaa-and here it is...!

So here we do have some interestingly nice project I did, which was putting both a modified ITX system and a modified Xbox mobo into a single system.

Still working on some BIOS mods for the board to be able to initialize the Xbox system in the case I ever need to without using a different button but the same one that goes to the ITX motherboard, but that will be pretty much done in a few months, been really busy with work-projects.

Also, another customization is the add-on of the OLED display on the mobo, this OLED display M$ delivers the XboxToledoDante (Series X 40GB XDK) has a SSD1322 controller IC that either communicates via 6800/8080 8-bit and 3-wire/4-wire serial. (I could make my own code to control this display as well!)

As well, this was finished by the 8th of April, but unreleased because Micro$oft else could come and do something against me, lmao.
