I had some thoughts of making an MP3 car player out of an old laptop, I was planning to use a USBkey to boot DSL and store some mp3's .. I like the idea of the compact flash card .. but I was going to leave the HD in it. Now that ndiswrapper works so well, and these Microsoft MN720 cards seem to be everywhere for $15 or so, it would be cool to "load up" your playlist from inside the house via wireless before your road trip or commute. Seems like I could "link" from the office to the car as well, to take files home, etc.. I was going to use an FM transmitter from the line-out of the laptop to broadcast to the car radio on an unused frequency.. The laptop says 15V , but I've used a cigarette lighter cable to power it up during mobile contests and other road trips without issues... The transmitter also works on 12-15V .. 73 ke4nt |
