What?


The S100 is a early VoD Box, basically a cheap Celeron based Intel PC. The Box comes with Scart, 2 USB, RJ45, Wifi and a remote Control. The Wifi Card sits on a mini PCI Slot, a single SDR Slot is available. The Board has unpopulated Headers for VGA, IDE and PCI.

I intended to use it as a media center, but somehow I always failed to actually doing it. I wanted to practically make every modification I heard of. I insisted to add a PCI Slot, although my model did not have one. The Slot used in this machines had a uncommon pin grid, and I never managed to get that part. I absolutely wanted to make the AVR based extended controller thing, but I hadn't had a programmer. Actually, I succeeded to build an AVR programmer just for this project, but never got the actual Chip. But I started doing things with microcontrollers because of that.
And so on and so forth...

Then I wanted to use it as a home Server, but just as I started my raspberry (ordered half a year before) arrived, and I decided to make a Server out of it instead.

But I had used on the 31c3 and 32c3 as a Server and to display the cozy libcaca ascii fire. At least something.

Put into deep storage. Its just too old and compares badly against a SBC.
