Yep just had a look in the manual.

The serial ports require the isa bus: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 And there's a bridge too: isab0: <PCI-ISA bridge> port 0x6200-0x623f,0x6100-0x613f at device 18.0 = on pci0 isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0 >Also setting make options will make things leaner and meaner too.=20 >something like (this is just an example, don't build anything with this=20 >set of options and expect it to work): >CPUTYPE=3Di585/mmx Hadn't realised the importance of that one, thanks.

If you run a normal PC which uses say 0.1KWH it would cost =A370 pa. to run it 24/7 (In the UK). The soekris at 0.01KWH would cost =A37. (May help the justification :)) --=20 John.
