Touchscreen BoomboxPC
Hitachi TRK-8200HR + Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 Color Tablet PC
currently running win98 (linux dual-boot when complete) with MediaCar as the default mp3 interface, designing a custom skin for the
480x640 portrait
display [95% complete]
currently 2g hdd, increasing to upwards of 20g
pcmcia LAN, and WiFi
internal webcam
4 USB (when completed)
custom desktop to keep original aesthetics
the powersupply for the tablet is internal, and wired into the outlet on the boombox, so you only have to plug in the standard AC wire for
both units to get
power. the tablet also has a battery for complete portablity.
functional as both PC and boombox. radio works, but the indicator had to be removed. the built-in mics will feed into the tablet, along
with line-in and
possibly radio so i can record radio to the harddrive, if i ever wanted to. the line-out of the tablet goes to the line-in of the boombox. the
headphone jack on
the boombox is unchanged, and the amplified external speaker jacks on the boombox had to be removed to make room for the power
switch, standby and
restart switches.
**recently installed: 802.11b adapter, oversized cpu heatsink and 50mm case cooling fan.
