|  | Posted: Oct. 04 2005,08:47 |  |  What chipset does the nano-itx motherboard have?  I'd love to have Linux BIOS running on such a machine.  Even without running a disk you could have a compressed ramdisk with some utilites to do basic things.  I did see a website with the 40 GB microdrive used in the new ipod.
  That's twice the hard drive I have in the Debian 1GHz PIII Laptop i'm typing on right now.  If you had Linux with a few utilities you could  do simple things like text editing etc. from a ram disk in memory and spin up the microdrive to save it later.  Remember, with wearable computing every milliamp counts...  I have an IPaq 3800 which I could use as a screen. (The earphone jack broke which also prevents the speaker from working, so I have no sound)   |
