I apologize for the misleading title, it is indeed a dual core atom board.
I chose the atom based on thermal characteristics, the space is really pretty confined, and doesn't allow for a more elaborate cooling setup. This problem is compounded by the fact that the CRT and analog board put off lots and lots of heat. When I was initially testing the unit, I had a core temp of 105 deg. Celsius! :O
As for feeding the original CRT a vga signal, I first had to make the analog board push the CRT at 640x480, this mod is well documented on the internet.
After that, it was just a matter of figuring out pinout info for the CC, which wires coresponded with RGB signals, grounds, horizontal and vertical sync and the like. I'll post the corresponding pins later in the thread.
The whole mod took me about 50 hours, the machine will eventually support an auto inject/eject iphone dock on the top, I'm working on the mechanism now. The system was build to push my audio system with iTunes and internet radio.
More mods are on the way, I want to mod, using the original display circuitry, an SE/30 for use as a text linux web-server. A touchscreen TAM is also on the prototyping board.
