NOTES
Ok. The machine has been psudo installed for a year or so now.

In that time I upgraded the HD to 20 gigs.

Homemade keyboard shorted out and blew a fuse on MOBO...fixed the fuse.

Noticed that if I had pressure on back of digitizer plate ("touchscreen" encoder) I would get random erratic mouse movements...very irritating.

Using a laptop auto adapter power supply that is a little underpowered, need to install laptop battery or computer goes to a hard standby (crash like)

I mostly put the machine in and out of standby, seemed a bit quicker than shutting down and starting up.

Big drawback is the Dual Scan LCD screen...washes out in the afternoon sun.  I am planning on replacing with a TFT screen, and may even upgrade to a newer model Fujitsu Stylistic 2300 that runs a 233Mhz pentium rather than my 120 pentium.

Still never made a custom dash, but have seen some good things done with balsa wood, plastic frames, and vinyl upholstry fabric.

...I decided to get a TFT version of the Fujitsu1200.  I really have no need to invest more than that.  The only other option is to get a $800 mobile TFT screen...I only invested $300 so far alltogether...kind of hard to justify $800-1000.
