That small clarification based on the information you provided about 1 small portion of the argument matters significantly because.....
- It invalidates your statement the device is NOT a computer.
- You pointed out the fact that is has a PCI slot which means there's a greater than 99% chance the device is a COMPUTER.
Other devices that have PCI slots are PCI expansion chassis to expand the number of PCI slots of a computer. And it's not one of those.
I don't know of other devices other than the two mentioned above that have PCI slots. Maybe someone elso in this forum does.
As best I can tell, it IS a computer.
