#Throwback ins Jahr 1999. Als ich einen "leicht transportablen" MP3-Player mit Festplatteneinschub gebaut habe. Mit 20x4 LC-Display, Jog-Dial und 8 Tasten. Das Ding hatte nur einen 230V-Stromanschluss und einen Stereo-Ausgang. War in einem selbstgebauten Alu-Gehäuse. Die Aluplatten hat ein Kumpel in seinem Ausbildungsbetrieb für mich auf Maß schneiden lassen.
Die Platine mit dem MP3-Decoder war ein Projekt der c't und ansonsten werkelte darin ein normales Mainboard mit Intel-CPU. Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere ein 486er.
Damals war dieser MP3-Player richtig heißer Scheiß.
