You may be able to get away with not buying a
micro-drive which will
fail sooner than later.
Use Limey
Linux. I have a Neoware which was bought out by HP. Neoware
and HP
thin clients have VIA chipsets in there, ie microprocessor,
ethernet
controller, audio, and Super i/o which controls your serial,
parallel
ports among other things.
I used the K0KN PLRI interface that I
was able to build from parts in my
junk box. After a little solder
smoke filled the air, made a few
adjustments, the URI was working for
the TX. I use the inexpensive
StarTech USB sound FOB for TX/RX audio,
and have the settings set to DSP
to detech RX audio and CTCSS tone.
After it was setup with a service
monitor, it works wonderful. Zero
issues.
Now I just need to build, test, and install a better,
higher, antenna.
