eee PC and OziExplorer

what is an eeepc

I saw- about 2 months ago- that it was going to come packaged with Windows...if that's the case it would be great For OziExplorer..

Hi Travellers

I am running an EEEPC, not with Ozi though, but with Garmin City Navigator, nRoute and Blue Chart Pacific maps. I have removed the Linux install and put on XPSP3. I have upgraded the RAM to 2GB and am running a Class 6 8GB SDHC card as another mounted "hard drive". It is a fantastic little unit. New models coming soon, so you can now buy the original 7G model for under $400. See link below for site with heaps of tips/tricks/modifications/hacks etc

Been looking at one as well to run Ozi. Just waiting for the boss to release the funds.

They run standard windows Vista or XP. You can even get them loaded with Linux if so desired.

They do not come with a CD/DVD reader but you can always plug a USB one into it.

The only thing that makes them like a PDA would be the Hard drive, other than that they are a baby laptop.

yes yes yes

I have a new 900 model with the 8.9" screen running ozi with moving map. Works fine. New model 900 comes with Win XP. Have maps on a 8GB SD card in the eeePC.

eeePC runs on 12V from car. No hard drive to get damaged, as all solid state memory.

has anybody tried using the Bigpond toaster modem model BP3 with 2 aerials and USB on the eeePC with XP.
if can use the Bigpond modem internet explorer and email with Oziexplorer would do me fine.

is the keyboard ok to type on?

I'd be interested to know what sort of system you are using to mount them in the 4wd.
