<td valign=top>Myself and another ham just picked up two of the 5710 thin
clients for less than $50 each shipped. So what is the recommended way to
build a node - ACID with a larger drive or Limey with existing hardware
inside (512M ram/ 512M flash)?
<div> </div>
<div>I like simple_usb because using a repeater or S-COM interface all you
need is audio and logic signals. I would like a few GPIO outputs for
external control purposes, too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is the K0KN PLRI interface? Does that take advantage of the
parallel port or something?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Alan; Best candidate (IMO) is a HP Thin Client - something like
<br>> the HP T5710; you can pick them up off eBay for as little as
$25US (you <br>> have to look out for them!) - then there is a mod'
to remove the memory <br>> module and install a 4GB
micro-drive. You can install ACID right off an <br>> external
(USB) CD.<br>> <br>> The HP will run chan_simpleusb just
fine.<br>> <br>> Low cost / works great / low power (runs off 12V
/ 13.8VDC @ ~ 650mA).<br>> <br>> Cheers!<br>> <br>>
