HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - Joey's Carputer v2.0

Picked up both e300's today from UPS and just cracked one of them open. I'm pretty stoked. No pics yet, but the highlights:

- First thing I noticed upon cracking open the case was an unused 5p header labelled "TOUCH1" - I am in like Flynn, nig nogs.
- Fanless Eden ESP 6000 CPU, 133Mhz FSB X 4.5, I ASSume that the jumpers are locked and that trying to bump them would melt the poor thing down.
- There is a blocked off slot for PCMCIA. There is also a blank 2 row 40p = 80 pin connector adjacent to where a PCMCIA slot mounts, labelled "PCI1" I wonder what that means?? :P
- FSB and RAM speeds are independently clocked by jumpers 66/100/133Mhz, with additional auto setting for RAM
- Takes 144p SODIMMs a la laptops, currently fitted with 128Mb PC133
- Resolution for the onboard S3 video is set by jumper; 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768, 1280X1024, 1024X768/32Mhz (?), and it is currently configured to a jumper setting not listed. Typical.
- Has 44p (labelled "IDE1" - I am confused again ??? ) laptop style IDE mounted CF "hard drive" complete with master/slave jumper. It's a 64Mb piece, I read literature incorrectly when I stated 128Mb. It's a petite unit, but given the size of CF-to-IDE adapters and normal sized IDE cards it might as well be acres. Maaaaaaaybe enough room for a 2.5" HD, but no available power for it.
- Requires some incredibly gay 12v@3.0A power supply (not included) with a 4p (two +, two -) connector. :-\

I have a normal 10" you can have for free. I think I discussed it with you back in the last Carputer thread; I don't really want to get rid of it, but I must admit I'm not going to ever do anything with it at this rate. The 7" touchscreen VGA (with composite and I think S-video inputs) has a pricetag though, in good used condition, make realistic offer.

Show me one single solitary hacked Neoware product, or any tweaked thin client whatsoever. Eat my shorts, nig nog, I got these for $44/per because nobody has told the herd animals that these are viable units. You can't get a VIA Eden 600Mhz motherboard for these prices, much less a whole working unit with display. But, wait about four days after this thread is linked to mp3car or the like for them to get played out like $2 -----s on eGay. ;)

Quit with the in-car tuning babble, guys, that is impractical faggot ---- unless you have K-poop because nobody who can tune is going to permanently install gear that needs to be removed for the next car. This is merely so I can run mp3s to my car stereo (for about the same price as one of the USB equipped stereo decks), surf the free wifi downtown and on the road, etc. :1
