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)
