After the regular DV-7, here is the upgraded model DV-7DL, still running under BeOS 5 Pro.
Specs:
Motherboard DFI GIC68-D
http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/motherboard … _d/DFI/GIC68-D/
chipset 815E
Celeron 1200MHz
256MB PC100
Intel Integrated Graphics with an AGP 2x/4x port, compatible with a GPA card (Graphics Performance Accelerator card with 4MB display cache.)
AC97 audio
RealTek 8100 LAN

As you can see there, it has a slim dvd-rom drive with an adapter, weird idea not to go with a regular 5.25" drive...

The RJ45, parallel, joystick, serial and audio connectors are hidden behind the plate.

Always like to see BeOS on old rigs. Odd that they hid the Ethernet port though, and they're using the Platinum-lookalike theme. That's also weird, not seeing the Real entries and so on in the about screen...

It's supposed to be a stand-alone machine, Roland provided upgrade on CD to update the editing software or install the extra fonts.
