Using mobo from printer

Post by bentendo64 »

I have the single-board computer from an hp psc 750xi, and I would like to do something with it. However, after hours of searching, I've only come up with the datasheet for the ram on the board. Here is a picture of it, but idk if anyone will be able to identify anything on it.

On the board itself, it says Vertex M1 94V-1 and C8413-20160 A
What I would think to be the main cpu/microcontroller, it says Agilent 2AK1-0002 and 3AAW05003
What appears to be a rom: S011865. and you can read it off the pic if you need to know any of the other numbers

You could part it out. To change it's functionality it would require quite a bit of reverse engineering. And even then, I'm not sure what it would be useful for.

It's got some nice useful capacitors. That's about it.

I haven't encountered anyone using these things yet. As you've found out, it's hard to get much info on the workings of these boards. A bit unfortunate, as there are just piles of these for the taking.

Awwww..... Well I can at least get some useful parts off it, though.
