if i go and spend the money for a halteck, i'm not gonna have enough money left for a laptop, can i use a pc in my garage, and just plug into that??
also, what are the hardware recommendations for the halteck??? i'm looking into just picking up an old laptop off of ebay. |
pc in garage works, but it is nice to be able to tune and monitor on the road.
you don't need much, 486 would probably work, i'd go with anything >= pentium, for the dos e6k software anyways. |
IBM comptible laptop, even a 286 will do the job with at least 1mb of ram, lol. All you'll be running is DOS anyways. Make sure it has a rs232 serial port.
yeah you can use a Desktop if you want. |
Just do what I did and get a relativly cheap laptop on Ebay. Its certainly not nessicary, but like pengaru said, it is very nice to have it on the road.

get a 12v to ac adaptor and put the desktop in the car!

You'll likely want to use a laptop, cause you'll want to be able to move when you tune! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
Aren't PC's stepped down to 24 VDC anyway? You could get a cheap transformer 12 VDC -> 24 VDC Our office uses a lot of laptops and has to get rid of old ones every couple years. If you know anyone who works at a place like that you can get them for dirt cheap and maybe even try them first. E-Bay Armoured Laptop Another one, cheaper, faster Slower, cheaper |
