Most community colleges have smaller libraries than can be found at 4 year institutions. The arcticle states that the media center offers resources on the web, e-books, and online journals. These resources may be comparable to the resources offered by other community colleges.
What is the difference if I'm looking at a paper copy of Journal xyz or an online version of the journal? The online version is most likely going to be the more reliable version. Nothing is more frustrating than tracking down some journal article only to find the page(s) you want ripped out. That is not going to happen with online journals.
When physical space becomes an issue moving to digital resources makes sense. It is costly to add on to the existing library to house additional paper books, paper journals, etc. But adding Online Journals, e-books, etc. to a library will require less space.
Since most people don't want to mess around with the computer in there daily driver there are some cheap alternatives. When first experimenting with automotive computing it would be easier to start with a computer that is isolated and only controls one system.
Megasquirt is a stand alone fuel injection controller. The Megasquirt is a diy project that could be adapted to many engine applications.
Another good reference is diy-efi.org.
Both of these sites offer projects that would be smaller scaled and could be relativly cheap. Of course after mastering a diy efi you may be inclined to open up your daily driver!
I ordered one of these cables from lik-sang recently and had it shipped via Fed Ex into the U.S. with no problems.
The pre-fab cable is nice and most of the first home built ones used a dc to neo geo link cable. The neo geo link cable is hard to find anymore but Sega does/did sell a serial cable to connect two dreamcasts together. Using this cable and the link already provided by Psx29 to Marcus Comstedt's site
you could make two dc coder cables! There should be no DMCA problems with that! The official sega cables are hard to find but there are third parties who make dc accessories that also offer a clone of the official sega cable.
Of course if you don't mind a little more permanent solution just attach the wires directly to the pins on the dc's serial port:-)
