Hardware Talk :: Damn Small Machine in DSL Store!

1. Is LILO or GRUB used for the packages with the preinstalled CF card?

2. Will I be able to use a Microdrive like this one with the DSM?

We are still taking orders. I am going to make it an ongoing item.

Unfortunately there is a delay in the initial order, the manufacturer is out of stock and there will be a two or three week delay.

Last feedback from September is on a 3 week delay. It is now November, are these shipping?

John mentioned mid November in an earlier post. I'm sure that date is tentative. No one in the US has them for retail sale at this time.
(That I have been able to find.)

PS. Things I have ordered from DSL have arrived promptly and in first class condition. DSL is a class act!

We FINALLY have some DSMs in stock -- two months after our original expected date! We'll be processing the pre-orders over the next couple of days. For those of you who were patient enough to wait, thank you.

Now, a few questions... the nano-itx boards have 6 channel sound, this doesn't appear to have enough sound connectors on the rear for analog 6 channel (3 connectors), does this have SPDIF for digital 6 channel sound?

Also, does this board have a sata connector as per:

Something I noticed is that your board has a VT8235 southbridge (if it is the same as the ebox one) which only has ATA133 and the one on the link above has a VT8237 which has sata and raid, did via change their mobo design at the last minute or are these say... an earlier revision? from the roadmap it looks as those the epia N / NL will not have sata

so I would assume they changed their minds

What motherboard is this using? epia N?

How many do you have in stock at the moment? if any?

damn, one more question.... I live in the UK and i'm moving to Australia in 2 weeks

what sort of power connector does it have? Will it be ok just to put a universal power connector on the plug or do I need to purchase a power adaptor?

Australia+uk are 230v 50hz but 240v is ok
USA is 120v 60hz
