Is it possible to embed the os and a few applications in flash memory on a pc containing some ram (say 8 meg) . Such a computer would be dedicated to one task only and would require no hard disk or floppy ,keyboard , nor display card . Only high speed serial io and ethernet port would be needed. I imagine the flash memory containing the os and applications would have to be put on a pci card . Can you give references if any commercial hardware is available and what tools to use to embed only the essential parts of the os into flash .
