I've been thinking of a car computer as well, for playing MP3's, I thought of
making control panels that connect to the LPT port (using a pic) to control what
song and playlist etc but it looked to hard to do the windows software. So to ge
t
around it I've decided to get an (ntsc) 4" LCD monitor from Timeline inc for
about $70 - $80 and connect this to the video out of an AGP video card and to
controll it I'll use a trackball therefore no custom written software, no hassel
s
etc
Regards
Stuart
P.S. I've priced motherboards here in Aus and i can get a motherboard with AGP
video, sound,100 baseT network card and a 56K modem all built in (making it very
compact) for about $180
