Subject: [TN] computer upgrade
Dear Technetters
I have been approached by someone in the Marine Corps about finding someone
that can design, build, and assemble a pentium replacement board for some
old 486 ruggedized computers. They were originally made by Litton and
Litton wants $3600 to replace the 486 board with a whopping 200Mhz pentium.
This Marine is trying to find a company that could do this for alot less
and hopefully with something more powerful than 200 Mhz. The board is
not a standard pentium board. It would have to be designed to fit this
particular case. The computer is ruggedized to be used in the desert and
woods. Right now the Marine Corps is using off the shelf Compaq laptops
but after two days in the desert they were experiencing failures do to the
dust and sand. This ruggedized 486 was used very successfully in the
desert and woods in the past but now is of course to slow.
If anybody knows of any company that can do this type of thing I would
appreciate the contact.
Thank you
David
