true, but my T4 does it (I had a go a few weeks ago on Rob Bell's MGF) so at least it is possible and I do have a reference tool that I can reverse engineer.
I'll add it to the list of things to do and Rob will be pleased when it's done.

pscan requires hardly any processor, RAM or storage space. It works quite well on old XP laptops or a Raspberry Pi 2.
However it isn't designed for Windows devices with ARM processors, so that might be a problem.

Not mine and no affiliation.. I came across this recently and thought I would share it in case anyone was looking for one. They are sort of rare and hard to find (if you are looking for one...). I have only seen images of these from way back on Dieters site. At the time, I think there was an identical one made for the Z3. The luggage rack is the earlier type. I do not think the suitcase will attach (without straps) to the later type.

Old clocks, you say, I’m fairly sure I have a stately clock, which I believe was out of an Alvis or possibly a Frazer Nash. I’ll dig it out, it shouldn’t be buried too deeply & I’ll post a picture, if you are interested.

Yes wooden plaques would work.
I machine out metal plaques and make mantle clocks from them, and wall hanging clocks.
Steam punk isnt a bad description.
The majority of advertised stream punk items are made from modern materials in China now, so I try to stick with old brass etc.
I would point out, it is getting increasingly difficult to get cheap working timepieces, they do pop up from time to time, but if you read the small print you will find most quoted as "untested," which basically covers the sellers backside and means you get a none working item that needs an expensive fix.
I have asked sellers to test the clock for me, wind it up and check it after 24 hours, but they don't, which of course means its a pup.
The other problem is people are convinced they have a valuable antique and are disappointed when they cant sell them, but having possibly paid a high price themselves will not sell at a perceived loss.
Even working items when supplied are running very fast or slow, so much so the governer cannot compensate.
It has been quite an education.
But, it keeps me occupied, in among all the other things that keep me occupied.

Not all the description is visible but from what I can make out the unit assess the number of fluid ounces consumed over a presets time / distance.
If it’s accurate & your passenger has his or he slide rule or Babbage’s sum & difference engine & a quality stopwatch to corroborate the figures, your fuel economy could be calculated in minutes.
With enough paper & a fountain pen, a chart could be drawn up over the following hours to indicate how you driving was ages ago, by which time you’ve lost interest.
Brilliant, I love old advertising leaflets like this.
Could you retake the picture with more text please, thanks.

That looks highly interesting and indeed what a very intersting hobby. What do you make of the sets of cheap replica Smith's instruments which turn up from time to time on Ebay?
Being a little into steampunk (try not to groan!) Id often wondered about buying a few to mount on oval shaped varnished wooden plaques as ornamental mock ups of early dashboards for man cave wall art

To help keep me out of mischief I purloin early smiths car clocks and repurpose them.
In an effort to get more info I purchased a copy of Smiths 1910 spares catalogue.
I am particularly enamoured with the Smiths consumeter.
What a lovely word for a fuel gauge.
p.s. for anyone interested in car history its a wonderful publication.
