It's always a pain using the on board P2K diagnostics with the glass off. Would there be a way to hook up a second monitor to directly read the onboard diagnostic screens?
I have always found it easy to just take the Translite and set it under the monitor when the glass is off. You can easily read the monitor even though there is artwork on the glass.
The Knobs that help support the backbox keep the translite from sliding down. So no holding is necessary.
I agree this method works very well. I've used in many times. Adding support for a 2nd monitor might be do-able, but most likely not, as linux is a real pain with 2 monitor setups.
