RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Got any old Dreamcast stuff sitting around?

["Spurling, Shannon" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Actually, you have a good idea there. I am not sure about the 4.7"^2
MB's. I think they can get a little pricy. What does a dream cast have
in it? I don't think it has enough I/O for what you are wanting to do.
You may have to hack together an ATX system and use some sort of
embedded microcontroller on a serial interface in order to do the bit
banging you may need to interface to your relays/digital switches.

Rock on...   But...  I think it will be hard to find a inverter to
convert the 
240 volt 3 phase from the tracks...  especially at the intersections
when the 
power blinks... 

Good luck geting a dream cast hooked up to that old beast....


Seriously though take a look at embeded devices....
http://linuxdevices.com/

Get one of those 4.7in^2 mother boards...  heck get a heads up display
and a 
twilddler on the wheel or stick shift, patch directly into the ALDL with
a 
home brew TLL converter and you are good to go...  You would be a "borg"

car...

Just don't crash the kernel while on the interstate..  Diesels don't
take 
kindly to stalled cars...
