HP T510 Internet Radio


System spec:

Installation: Tiny Core Plus CPU: Via Eden 1GHz SSD: 1GB IDE Flash Module RAM: 2GB DDR3 Wifi: Broadcom BCM43228

I had a Thin client lying around and I wanted a Internet Radio in my kitchen. The radio hooked to the kitchen speakers has a bad antenna so I figured
to get a cheap USB powered FM-transmitter to let the Thin Client communicates with the old Radio.
This Thin Client has a 1GB IDE Flash Module... a storage capacity insufficient to install Windows so I thought A Great way to learn Tiny Core
I asked my questions on this form and the support was awesome...
