http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS9634061300.html This looks promising: a $100 ($50 in volume) 5 Watt computer. 1.2GHz CPU, 512MB each of RAM and Flash Marvell 88F6281 "Kirkwood" SoC gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 ports Looks like the SoC also has a 2nd Ethernet port, 2 SATA parts, PCIe and other stuff that isn't brought out for some reason. http://linuxdevices.com/files/misc/marvell_88F6000_diagram.gif Anyone have an idea how much work it would take to get BSD running on this thing? Get the 2nd Ethernet working and have a 5 Watt firewall for personal and SOHO use. (Obviously you aren't going to run a Fortune-500 company through this thing.) Or use it as a USB device server. Bring the SATA ports out and make a small NAS. And so on. Unfortunately I don't see firewire listed. :-(home | help
