Hacking Checkmate Monitors for Fun and Profit

I saw that CheckMate is running another round of these awesome monitors and it doesn't get a ton of screentime in my "bubble". I see them show up on retro gaming channels, but not on the other side of "retro computing". Things like "total sysadmin domination" of old hardware that spits out a ton of different signals.

So I made a short demo of a remote management latency life-hack and some of my more sysadmin-ey uses of the Checkmate and how I use it as a network management platform.

Here's a link to the CheckMate site for more information if you're interested. I think RMC/Retro Collective did a video as well as Nostalgia Nerd and maybe a couple others back when these things were released. Take a look.
