I don't feel that a brief, or even extended, excursion into automotive computer systems or any other embedded application is off-topic, as long as it meets the 10-year rule, but restoring Jags doesn't interest me. Well, a '64 XKE roadster, maybe, but that doesn't have any computers, and XJ's are tanks. No offense, Chris. None taken. That said, does anyone know about the systems in these? It looks interesting from the seat, and is even equipped with a dot matrix display, but I have no idea what's behind it.
