Any thoughts on having the flash easily accessible so you can do updates from your desktop ?

On this semi-embedded OS, what happens if you plug in a new USB device the system has never used before. I guess what I am asking is how is the plug-and-play affected with the write filtering ?

Thank you for the compliments! I don't think the 8" screen will work. The flash module is easily removable if I pull the PC. It only takes 15 minutes and 10 screws to pull the whole unit out.

The OS is a true embedded setup. Im not sure what you mean by semi-embedded. It will still detect USB devices like flash drives, keyboards, input devices, etc. If I want to make changes to the volume I can turn off the EWF (enhanced write filter) and commit all changes ive made to the OS by command prompting:

ewfmgr -commitanddisable -live

When I am happy with what I did then I run:

ewfmgr -enable

and it turns the write filter back on next boot.

The USB plug and Play has nothing to to with EWF. This is an OS module than can be removed but I kept it intact in my OS image.

Thank you for your chassis order deepsky! Looked at my paypal this morning. I will have this complete and shipped out this week.

So you are selling these now? What exactly comes for 65 bucks?

The white aluminum chassis part of my build including the top plate. It is for Double Din and is not ford specific. Any after market trim kit for Double Din can use this chassis. I will try to post up a pic later on tonight of the unit that im making right now for deepsky.

Looks great, good job.

Here is your chassis deepsky. Still need to drill and tap some holes for the top plate. Hope everyone has a great Xmas filled with carPC presents.

Oh man that is NICE. So what would you charge to install an LCD if I brought you one? There is no chance I have the means to take one apart and put it in there nice as you did.

Deepsky i shipped your chassis out. Emailed you the tracking #.

I could make the chassis, disassemble and mount the screen into a trim kit and assemble the whole shot, ready for bolt in for $150 (you provide the 7" screen)

U said that u have limited writing on the system disk because too much writing from the OS will nuke the flash card... what about suspension? u have 512Mb RAM.. when u suspend your system XP will wrtite at least 400MB of stuff on your disk, isn't it?

It may not quite be a 12 second cold boot, but I bet it would be a hell of a lot better than what alot of people are getting at the moment

i have exactly your hardware... can u share the iso so i can try it? I think my license will go with this one aswell... mine too is an XP pro...
