Yes I'm aware of the extra 1U unit with drives - and I really doubt that DTS designed something special to work with that board. Most DTS stuff is off the shelf, besides their own boards.
Weird about the laptop DVDRW having issues: CDs are the simplest to read, it should be the other way round!
It would be a fun experiment to see what this display board does when plugged into usb of a XD10. It might do nothing, or it might behave almost the same. XD10 remote? Hah. Though XD20 parts are even more rare it seems.
The software is the same, I see when the XD10 starts it goes to detect whether it's a 10 or 20. They often use simple ways to tell the difference.
On the DSS series, a DSS200 was assumes if the HW RAID card was present. If not present, a DSS220 was selected.
Who knows what the script is poking to find out what unit is being used!
XD20s were pretty rare I think, they came out towards the end of everything.

I almost have the parts I need for the reinstall, just waiting on an IDE to CF card adapter. Gonna try to see if it will recognize and install to dual 1TB SSDs to enable it's raid functions.
It did boot from the install disc with my USB optical drive.... bios acted like it would boot from USB stick too but I may need to re-image that ISO onto it. Didn't like it on first attempt, will try another stick. But not needed since it does the attached optical boot just fine.
Is it possible to move DTS licenses from the old drive? I'm not sure CSS or Video is going to be enabled by default. (Assuming I can get it to recognize it's video hardware eventually). I didn't have to think about that when i reinstalled our XD10, cause we only needed the basic soundtrack license.
Licenses: yes but you need to start the player and save a configuration backup. I'm sure there is also a way to do so by accessing the disk itself. But if the player works, find the configuration backup menu and save a backup ASAP as once that is lost, the player will only reinstall as a basic sound machine - at least that is the XD10 behaviour.
Once the SW is installed, you'll be asked to plug the USB stick to re-load the configuration. Or you can do that later in the relevant menu.
booting from USB stick can be challenging, I don't know how the stick needs to be formatted. When it comes to Windows and Linux, you'd need to use tools like RUFUS.
If the board booted from the USB optical drive, happy days! You can stick a Linux Live disk in it and test the system in Linux without HDD! ?

Hah, I remember that config step from last time, thanks for the reminder, though it was not really needed on our xd10 cause we only had basic license.
I’m familiar with Rufus, but made that boot stick from an osx machine with dd. Will try a live disc and run memtest from there, since this is ebay memory. (But it’s Micron at least). If I can manage a Linux live via usb the installer should be possible too.
