Re: Driver station computer limits
I don't recall any rules specifically limiting the size of the driver station computer. However, you probably want your laptop fitting on your OPERATOR CONSOLE in such a way that it doesn't interfere with your drive controls; the OPERATOR CONSOLE has to fit on a shelf 5 ft. 9 in. wide x 1 ft. deep (section 2.2.8). Also keep in mind that the computer needs to have an Ethernet port to connect to the FMS, and that you will probably be carrying around your OPERATOR CONSOLE and a heavy/bulky laptop may become annoying to deal with.
