    So, it appears to be a standard VIA-chipset motherboard with a minimum of custom hardware. Makes one wonder how hard it would be to revive the project...

    Thats a standard micro-atx pc mother board inside that. I'll bet the HN runs on either Linux or QNX

    It has 256MB of ram and is using 133Mhz commodity PC ram. Check this photo http://www.sequencer.de/pix/hartmann/RAM_256MB.jpg then check this photo http://www.sequencer.de/pix/hartmann/Mainboard_IO.jpg
    You see your standard P2/2 keyboard and mouse ports, usb ports, ethernet rj45, something connected to the serial port - probably the controls, nothing in the video port, nothing in the audio port - probably used something better than the cheesy sound blaster clone on the mother board. Gosh, what did people pay for these things?

    Somebody should hook a pc keyboard, pc mouse and a pc monitor up to theirs and see what is one the display. Probably a linux login prompt.

    Nothing wrong with building things on a PC mobo. Except the constant crashing of course.

    Software crashes. Hardware fails. I'm sure sure PC motherboards are known for failure.

    Well, you don't just pay for the motherboard, right? Software takes time to develop, and so does all the custom hardware that's in there (besides the mobo of course).
