Military Computers embedded

Simon,

Caterpillar sells a product called the "Navigator Rugged PC" that is used at
mine sites.

See their product catalog at:
http://www.cat.com/cda/components/securedFile/displaySecuredFileServletJSP?f
ileId=127438&languageId=7

See page 13.  According the the catalog it uses an Intel 166 MHz processor
with Windows NT or CE.

Here is a quote from their catalog:

"The Navigator 10.4cTS is a compact, embedded Intel� PentiumT based
hardened PC designed for use in rugged outdoor environments. The
system incorporates a 10.4? transflective LCD for superior viewing in
high light conditions with a broad-range dimmable back-light for viewing
in low light conditions. The integrated high-light rejection infrared
touch-screen provides a means for reliable operator input in extreme
operating conditions."

Hope this helps

Jim
