== Hardware ==
The original unit we received consisted of a height-adjustable pillar with a sheet steel case on top. The case had a screen, a 4x40 character LCD display with a blue backlight, 4 leds, 2 buttons, an up/down lever (connected to the pillar), and another lever connected to the computer inside. There's a USB connector on the front, which is not connected internally.

The computer inside is a Sony ECM-3711. It has a GIO expander connected over USB.

* CPU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C7 (x86, 32bit, 1ghz)
* Ram: 1Gb, with 64MB reserved for video memory
* Storage: 4GB compact/flash, detected as IDE1 master

== The "Where" unit ==
[[User:Ondergetekende]] hacked/soldered an internal connector to the frontpanel USB, so a keyboard can be attached with the case closed.

There's a substantial power problem - the machine won't boot up properly, it even takes a minute before the fan starts spinning, despite it being connected to 12v directly. After some time, tripping the case intrusion switch seems to help.

== Software ==
The shell on the machine was last accessed on 7 mar 2014. It is running Debian squeeze/sid.
