The testing on that device appear to have be brutal unless I am reading
wrong. They made the subject test it at 1.2% BAC. I wonder how many
died. Wouldn't they all ?

Um, yeah. At first I thought it was a typo, but they have similar
concentrations elsewhere and give the correct mg/L, so... isn't
greater than .50% generally at high risk for alcohol poisoning?

What's the LD-50 for ethanol?
High school chechemistry/phyusics class "experiments", many "studirs"
and
"surveys", and many "tests" are NOT intended to actually measure
anything,
but instead, are intended to DEMONSTRATE things in the guide of a "test".
In this case, that massive overdoses might impair driving ability?

What the hell kind of a "hackerspace" would trash stuff so full of
useful components? I'd never associate with such a group.

Adrian, you should consider keeping them for a likely future when the
fashion at Hacker News turns to soldering and component level hacking.

What happened to the rest of the machine? It has an old enough feel that
the displays might be something interesting.

If I had to guess, since it was built into a nice aluminum case, probably
cut up with a Dremel and now houses an LCD and a MicroATX motherboard.
