I'm not *too* worried about screen resolution or cost, but it will need to be able to support lots of memory, and fast / capacious disk(s). It will also need a 10base2+T ethernet adapter capable of promiscuous packet capture (no prizes for guessing what this is going to be used for :-). So, does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like Manufacturer/Model nos rather than chipsets, as the latter is difficult to ascertain in the UK (at least the magazines that I've looked at don't mention them). I'll also take negative recommendations/war stories, and summarise any messages that get sent to me personally.

The thing I need to know now is how to control the servos for it to get around with. Would that work best with X10 or some other technique? Right now, it's an idea that I'm throwing onto paper, and I'm not sure if I want to rip out a laptop and throw it into a chassis or just make a chassis that will take a regular AT motherboard. Perhaps a small computer similar to the one that Tom Arnold has suggested, an Ampro SLC50 which is reportedly the size of a 3.5" drive. The thing I want people's opinions about is how to control the servos for motion control, additionally sensors to detect object so it doesn't run around bumping into stuff. Would that be best done through the serial port, parallel port, or a different technique? ============================================================================== Thomas J Balfe tbalfe@tioga.com President http://www.tioga.com/ Tioga Communications, Inc 814-867-4770 ============================================================================== From owner-freebsd-mobile Sat Apr 20 15:33:05 1996 Return-Path: owner-mobile Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id PAA06281 for mobile-outgoing; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 15:33:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from tdc.on.ca (tdc.on.ca [204.92.242.39]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA06266 for ; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 15:33:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from martin@localhost) by tdc.on.ca (8.7.5/8.6.6) id SAA00371; Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:31:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Martin Renters Message-Id: <199604202231.SAA00371@tdc.on.ca> Subject: Re: [PCMCIA] pccard-960414 To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org, hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 18:31:20 -0400 (EDT) In-Reply-To: <199604140724.QAA05775@frig.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp> from "HOSOKAWA Tatsumi" at Apr 14, 96 04:24:10 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-mobile@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just got my hands on a Megahertz CC/XJEM3288 Modem/Fax/Cell/Ethernet card.

I can't find any config index corresponds to Ethernet interface, and moreover, function ID says this card is serial cards, not multifunction cards. Multifunction cards had had no standard before PC-card 95 standard, so, the multifunction cards released before this specification includes per-vendor hacking to PCMCIA standard. >> I put the sn0 line into my kernel config file and configured the >> card to use the irq and base addresses specified in the config file. >> In the /etc/pccard.conf file I put: >> >> config default "sn0" any >> config 0x23 "sio2" any I believe the chipset of this card is sn, but we can't hack it without vendor's information. I have not tried to get it. Multifunction card support is one of our TODO list, but per-vendor hacking cards are too hard to use it compared to other cards. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
