Motorola made the 100 lapdock and 500 lapdock proprietary. The 500<br>

A custom HDMI script, sound script and wifi script are required to<br>
connect a raspberry pi to the 100 lapdock and 500 lapdock. The Atrix<br>
lapdock and Bionic Droid lapdock do not require a HDMI script and sound<br>
script but they may require the wifi script. Hence, I returned the 100<br>
lapdock and puchased an Atrix lapdock. The latter I returned because it<br>
had a defective HDMI. Bill Mar of <a href="http://specomp.com" target="_blank">specomp.com</a> told me the HDMI is<br>
defective in a significant percentage of Atrix lapdocks.<br>
<br>
Could you please advise whether your 500 lapdock can operate an Improv<br>
board without scripts?<br>

Although when the EOMA68 was install with Android, the screen would display briefly, then shut off. I had not actually read any of the hardware notes for the rPI, I just saw it and bought it with the intent to hack it.</div>
