Touchscreen BoomboxPC Project

as seen on GIZMODO ;)

it's far from finished, but i just couldn't resist posting it any longer.

Hitachi TRK-8200HR + Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 Color Tablet PC
currently running win98 (Debian dual-boot when complete) with MediaCar as the default mp3 interface, designing a custom skin for the 480x640 portrait display
currently 2g hdd, increasing to upwards of 20g
pcmcia LAN, upgrading to WiFi
internal webcam
4 USB (when completed)
custom wallpaper 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.

not sure if i'm gonna upgrade the speakers right away. most of what's left is building in the 4 USB ports, some bondoing, and repainting, most likely in shades of silver and grey.

so, here it is, a work in progress...

one of the screen rotation drivers. there are a few. i think the one i used was from KomputerKen, but the site is no longer available, so i hosted it here....

That is as cool as it is funny!

some nice solder work there.

Where did you get the port replicator plug...or did you gut a port replicator?

thanks. i tried to keep it as clean as possible. the liquid insulator makes it look a bit sloppy, but it works great to fill in inbetween all those close proximity connections and keep them from touching eachother.

i looked into buying a port replicator adapter form the original manufacturer, but it seemed like too much trouble when i could just desolder it from a $10 port replicator.

The cheapest I tried were Qtec and Sweex webcams both about 10 euro cams. Both dont work, further some more expensive types, with no positive result.....
