Re: Argosy HD-363N

There are a number of headless solutions for Windows boxes, the best
being Windows XP Embedded -- but that's not a retail product. You can
run w/o a kbd, mouse and display if the BIOS is ok with this. Or you can
buy devices that "fake" these peripherals enough to get the box booting
and running.

(In the interests of fair disclosure, I was the principal architect of
Window XPe when I was with MS.)
