TM600
USB-SATA adaptor
300G HDD
SATA cable
3G wifi router
blatant disregard for safety
wire
tools
sticky tape
dangerous cutting tools
beer
time
threw them all together, and came out with the following
a TM600 with, 300G sata drive, its own broadband mobile connection, if you have a wifi laptop in the same room, that can access the net as well, via the technomate, wirelessly, if you have a wireless laptop, and a usb printer (or webcam) that will plug into the back of the TM, and you can use them from the laptop, with no wires
i may fit an external aerial for the wifi access for external devices to connect to the net via the TM, but anywhere theres mobile phone coverage, this will connect to my home network for viewing ,as long as its connected to a dish as well, my 300W 12v invertor in the van runs it with no problems and itll also allow anything within range internet access as well
im still working on my linux / sly digibox hybrid, but the dodgey box circuitry is so unnecessarily large that its proving a problem, so i may have to abandon that in favour of a 3 card TM600 instead
