I sucessfully converted my older I-Opener for use in my Westy.

It now has a 800 MB HD inside it, and is currently running Windows 98. Maybe
I'll bring it to BBTBP next weekend.

(I haven't spent the money to buy a GPS yet, though.)

From what I briefly read recently, the new versions of the IO are easily
hackable, too - but I think they are somewhat more expensive to buy.

How much was the thing at CompUSA?
