Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi people, you remember I had trouble with the DiskOnChip media/driver. I now have a board that uses compact flash and it works beautifully. I want you all to know about this board, because it is really inexpensive in every respect. Is a i468/132 MHz with 32 MB DRAM on board. It runs on a cheap 12V / 9W wallmount adapter, has no fans, doesn't even need a heat sink. It comes with 3 x 100 BT ethernet ports ideal for router/firewall settop boxes. Here for you the kernel probes: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

His name is Soeren Kristensen (www.soekris.com). This board can be had for about $200 including enclosure!!! The only problem with this is that it isn't available unless we all place one big order to get it manufactured. Soeren knows how to do this he just doesn't have the venture capital to do it. The board can be ready for all of us if we find a way to finance it collectively. Anyone interested? Let me and the list know. We need just a few hundred boards ordered, I believe. But Soeren can tell you more about what exactly would be needed. Go for it! -Gunther DISCLAIMER: I am in *no* way related to Soeren and I do not share any profits from his sales. I am only chearing this board because I want 30 pieces of it right now and I can't get it because he can't manufacture it. After one year of serching I know that there just isn't any better alternative in this world. -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow@regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistent Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
