Left : MNT reform, Right : Panasonic CF-SV

9front on Panasonic CF-SV8FDSQR worked well.
9fornt is truly amazing.
Next is Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen1, but CPU server and nvram aren't working properly.
I'd like to start learning programing soon, not just install only.

New weird power behavior on the #MNTReform this morning.

The LPC is correctly reporting the battery state, but the wiring between that and the OS is clearly confused. Started full today, around the time I was down to 94% the OS dropped to 11%. Then 5%. Then up to 100%. I put it back on external power. LPC shows back to 100%, but OS is still reporting 11%.

This could be a lot of things, including actual chip damage due to the event that blew the fuse a few weeks back.

Even for me this feels like an excessive level of jank:

#MNTReform classic HDMI out to HDMI -> active (usb powered) display port adapter -> 15+ year old display port to 2 DVI ports matrox adapter thing (basically presents two monitors to the OS as one in hardware, usb powered) -> 2x passive DVI -> HDMI -> 2x 1080p 24" monitors.

Works seamlessly! Just got to remember that going "full screen" on the external is stretched across both monitors...

Anyone else got a Reform running Plan 9, btw? I've never been able to get the reading of data from the lpc to work, and reading reform/pm.c and cross referencing with the lpc firmware, I'm fairly sure the implementation is just wrong.

Has this ever worked? Anyone have it working now? Curious if there was a breaking firmeare change or something...

Has anyone tried modifying a Reform Classic to have removable / hotswappable battery boards?
