TalonTek Shows On Board Personal Computer at AAIW 1998

5 November 1998

TalonTek personal computer for your vehicle TalonTek Systems Inc. is showing off a high-tech accessory at this year's SEMA show. Specialty equipment, indeed: it's a pentium 200 with MMX for your vehicle. The unit is an industrial computer that can withstand temperature ranges from freezing to 120 degrees fahrenheit, and shocks that measure up to a G-force of 2. The computer uses universal serial bus (USB) ports to allow a total of 254 peripheral devices (think cameras, scanners, printers, etc.), comes with a touch sensitive screen, and uses infrared technology to accept input from your keyboard and mouse. The company expects to include dvd technology soon--when it irons out that feature, the unit will double as a entertainment center for your car, capable of showing feature films as well as handling all your computing needs.

The OS? Windows98, but don't let that steer you away from attempting a Linux install.

Yahoo, here come the highway hackers.
