Some new toys….

Picked these (amongst many other things) up at the War & Peace show this year, still have a bit more work to do, but got them up and running enough to play solitaire so far, and really, who ever uses a computer for doing more than that?

LX1 Wotan Liaison computer

486DX2 66Mhz Processor, 32mb Ram, 64mb flash memory card as hard drive. Running Damn Small Linux at 800×600 with 4bit color depth :)

Roadrunner prototype ANPR field computer

Roadrunner prototype ANPR field computer

Prototype computer for the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system, Pentium 4 processor, on a custom embedded motherboard with 512mb ram and 40gb hard drive running Windows 2000. All mounted into a pelican brand hard case.

There’s still some more work to do on them but hopefully I should have both, plus another little gem, up and running and on display at the Salute!* show at the end of the month.

*= Shameless plug: Salute is on at the National Show Centre, Swords, 29th & 30th August 2009

    Unfortunately, no. I only got the unit itself, had to find a power cable just to be able to power it up :) And have no other parts. If I come across an audio interface next time I open it up, I’ll be sure to post.
