Question to all those good 10 people who understand binary and all those good 32 people who understand Ascii and are still updated and interested in the development of PC/palmtop's OS and software.
The problem is that we will use two PC's of sorts almost simultaniously on battery power. Given that most PC's in whatever config use about 100 to 200W that would be roughly min 25A and max 40A per hour or about 320Ah per day requiring 3 large batteries (and still overload them) and leaving nothing for lights and instruments.
I have not measured actual consumption, but this is what I gather from the labels.
Now my specs are as follows:
Processing power minimal requirement, disk storage moderate 100MB will do, standard (frestanding large key board), external large LCD screen (to save power) as an option and a mouse externally.
Sould be able to run DOS (preferable) or another command line OS.
Would be one of the palmtops or similar be suitable, or is there some development in the pipline? I would not mind running an older and slower processor as long as the animal does not use too much power.
Screen size and resolution is important so the small screen of a palm top is out.
We have a laptop currently (and number of normal machines) which uses 180W or 15A or 150Ah per day.
Am living at the end of the world (as far as technical info goes) and would really appreciate good advice.
thanks and regards ongolo
