hacking a copying machine mobo?

[sheff]

i was wondering if it was possible to turn a mobo from a large coping machine into something else' maybe some kind of pc or game system ????

I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt it. Unless...

Call me crazy, but it might be possible if you reprogrammed the whole thing, pretty much recreated the motherboard, and were willing the accept that the only type of games you could play on it were Atari-type games.

If you were going for a computer...Pretty much the same story only vastly different ending. It'd be very basic, at best.

This is all assuming you - based on skill - could do it at all.

Sorry dude but you can't. Not saying it is not possible but the costs evolved would not be worth it at all ever. Nor would the time you put into the project be ever worth it at all either. Unless your were doing it for bragging rights. But for most of us here if not all, thats including Ben. It's a no because we don't have the knowledge to even do that.

You could however stick a game system or old computer in the copier's plastic body.

You can make an infra-red laser pointer.

Not without buying all the parts to create a custom system.
