NXM-DMP was a PC customised by AMX in NXI format (rackable) that was used in Panja 1000 kit sold few years ago with VPN-CP and that allowed direct access to news, weather, stream movies. It worked with a subscription but it's no more avalaible since at least two or three years I think.

All you can do is recycle PC for something else, it was not a very powerful PC, it used a non Intel processor and had only 256M of RAM if I remember well, and 40Go of HD.

Hope it helps

One of the problems with innovative development is that you sometimes chase down a dead end. AMX has done more than their share of that, and there are quite a lot of dead products because of it. I'm not saying this is altogether a bad thing, just an unfortuate fact that comes out of aggressively developing products in a previously non-existent market. Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

Thanks for the input and info guys.
Obviously this product came with some modules and instructions.
Does anybody have anything lying around still?
Due to my love of all things AMX I'm really keen to have a play with this device
and see what AMX (Panja) were up too.
Any help or input would be REALLY appreciated.

Unhappy for you you won't find any documentations concerning that product as it was only loaned in Panja 1000 kit furnished by AMX ready to use, and that product has never been sold alone for programmation by anyone So I don't think you'll find anything about it lying around. All the more that product is really old and outdated now, and unless you would find some documentations to control it, you would be able to do very few things interesting with it as all videos and audio codecs managed by that product are probably completely outdated

Thanks Yuri, but I already had that info from 'Software History'.
I really just need something from some one who bought one or still has one!!

Ahh... the wonderful Panja system.

There is quite a lengthy story behind this device.

I have a PDF of the manual, but I dont know if it is too big to post.

I will try.
