Hello Byron,

> For an overview.

    I believe a PC/104 computer would be the best thing to make a
car-mp3-player. It could even work with a GPS and other things. Would be a
very cool thing to have with you when you're driving.

    The problem is, as always, cost. An MZ104-1MB (MachZ [kind of
586-on-a-chip] based PC/104 Computer, 2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 USB, E-IDE,
1mb BIOS flash, 0K SDRAM) costs about US$249. This is too much. Something
like US$100 would be more tolarable.

    Best regards,

    Brusque
