MPC Data sponsors Pandarama! 06/07/2006

A unique modified Fiat Panda is driving from the UK to Mongolia in order to raise monies for rural families in Mongolia and Africa. MPC Data is sponsoring the event by creating a Windows XP Embedded image that will allow Windows XP to run from a solid-state disk, thereby creating a fully solid-state solution for operating in the harsh environment of a vehicle. A custom application captures timelapse video from a USB webcam and stores the images on a USB memory stick. As a 'headless' system, startup and shutdown operations all need to be fully automatic and reliable.
