[dundee] scart device with hdd

[Nistur]

my friend used to have precisely what you want. I think it even had
networking. However I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, it
was basically a HDD enclosure with a busybox system, basic gui, remote
control... played mp3s, wma, mpg, avi etc... From what I recall it cost him
30 quid without a HDD from the Computer Fair at Trentham (before Trentham
got stopped...) I will text him later for the name (not a chance he's awake
now) and report back when I get to Dundee again tonight. I believe what he
used it for was watching videos in his car...
