I got this old security card scanner/encoder computer form my work today. Its pretty nice considering the age but we are replacing them with regular SFF PC's with touchscreen LCD's.
The specs are pretty nice and I am thinking it will make for a great carputer setup once I get things clean, upgraded and such.
Specs:
Pentium III 333mhz (Mobile Pentium II)
32MB PC100 RAM (I've since upgraded to 256MB PC100)
2GB laptop-style HDD
12.1" TFT LCD Touchscreen
Floppy drive
DVD support (No drive built-in)
USB Support
Standard IDE + E-IDE connections
NIC 10/100
PCMCIA Ports (2)
It has Windows 95 loaded on it now, which is my big hurdle... the damn thing doenst have a CD-ROM so I'm trying to run one from the IDE connection and power it from my main computer.... the major downside of this thing is it doesnt have any standard power outputs, its very similar to a laptop in its construction.
Can anyone help me identify this mainboard and component information? I'm trying to figure out what all the connectors on the mainboard go to... there are a lot and they are all "CON1" "CON2" "CON3", etc...
Here is all I could really find on it. Looks to be made by DFI, atleast the top layerboard with the outputs, power and PCMCIA... but they mate together with a propriatary set of connectors so they should both be under ths same name. The LCD panel is made by ELO TouchSystems and drivers for it should be easy to gather.
Here are pics of the system and of the board.

'DFI Tiger ST Series'
EDIT: Specs from DFI, both minimal and optional levels.
Thanks for the help,
