[Cialug] 12 volt computer

[Patrick Mcgillan]

I changed the subject, forgot to do that first time.

I have several PI4s and PI3s hooked up doing a number of automation type
things.

On the other hand, I need a WIN10 machine to run MARS software with my HF
radio. The Intel NUC is looking like the machine to get and a 12-19 volt
adapter will supply power needed. Did I also mention I want to use this
with my solar 12 volt setup.
