Too bad there is no isa slot on that. Would be kinda cool for a jukebox. |

Oh how I don't miss the days of non-standard PC builds where you don't have slots of modularity. There are some cool things you can do with a parallel ports but your primary limitation is Windows 95. The sun has set on that OS and your use of the touchscreen for another device would require a newer OS. Stuff like a Kitchen console (recipe lookup, etc.). A Daily organizer/whiteboard. It's a cool find but without sound, it's real only use being a jukebox, you're kind of a tough spot. |

I would set it up as an Aurcade score submission station. That's a very application specific use, though. |

I used to have something similar that I found at a pawn shop when it was a lot more .... current. I installed it in my car as an mp3 player/winamp setup. |
