Carputer: the early years...

[Slaugh 10+ year member]

Hi... i'm posting this thread i found in mp3car.com... i hope it hasn't been posted here yet... i found it curious to realize how the idea arose much before i judged "praticable" or even worth it...

For those lazy enough to click the link, i selected the best pictures...

The beautiful '91 Cadillac where the installation was done...

Here, the whole secret: the "black box" where has been installed DOS and Windows 3.1 (pretty current for the time being)...

The typical "Frankestein mess" during the installation (seems some things never get old, right )

The console held a "mighty" 10" Sony monitor, that reaches 1024x768 (something like mindblowing back then)... costed 500 bucks brand new, according to the owner...

What really amazed me the most (i doubt Hasselhoff's would have ever got that done on Kitt)...

I hope this is meaningul to somebody... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That's pretty badass, when I had my '88 Caddy I wanted to do a tube monitor installation like that and throw an NES system in there... maybe a carphone you know keep it old school //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
