MP3 meets Car Audio: Empeg Mark II in-dash Car MP3 Player


http://www.anandtech.com/audio/showdoc.html?i=1321&p=4.

note the use of intel strongarm and 2 IBM travelstar drives

further note the following re the drives caching system:

The drives also spend quite a bit of their time spun down due to a very efficient caching system that we’ll talk about later. Since the empeg is a hard drive based unit running Linux, the question of boot time is an obvious one. Thankfully, the combination of the 4200 RPM, a minimal Linux configuration, and a system board designed for quick boot times, the empeg is ready to go in about 5 seconds after turning it on.
