What is that? I can't find any information about anything like that in the wiki. Can you link some info?

Monitor peripheral for CC. It was around for some time but now it's not available to public for reasons unknown.

It was never available to the public, and it's because it will become part of CC 1.31

that's awesome, now it just needs camera to do something like this old mod except you'd be able to do way more stuff with it, being linked to a computer and all ;D
Make it a camera on a turtle with a modem and you get a remote drone ;D

No, that was a controller block for the monitors. It is no longer needed in 1.31. I am, however, thinking of working on a separate wireless keyboard peripheral so you can use the computer remotely.

Just for information, it was supposed to look like a VGA port :mellow:/>/>

Will there be an info available about coding peripherals? I'd like to code a HDD.

Well, now that you mention it, it does. Yet no one uses VGA anymore, people use HDMI, get with the picture!
hehe…. But no, sorry for the confusion, and there is an idea for you to ponder on, that is going to be interesting. A wireless keyboard, in minecraft! So now I can play minecraft in minecraft in peace on the big screen….
