I think we've been having such great fun dreaming. I wonder if it
is possible to summerize what we have and vote on a design. It
would be fun (even if nothing is really built) to go all the way and
develope PC board artwork in the hopes that CPU prices and a OS can be
found. Can we get serious?
(from memory)
o IBM PC/AT system board replacement, uses present PC cheap
and availble parts for enclosure , HD and graphics contrlr etc.
o Classic SBC design with SCSI on board memory. Uses a terminal.
o Above with AT type (EGA?) graphics controller chip set.
o design a SBC but have slots for expansion.
Software:
o REAL UN*X (BSD, SYS V)
o MINIX (yecchhh, sorry :) )
o MACH
o Other PD OS (check out os.research)
Send me a EMAIL message to vote for your favorite design
and I'll summarize for the net.
I have a friend who is a dedicated hacker and owns a business
with the ablility to make PCB's from schematics. I would be
willing to help translate a schematic to artwork if others are
will to help design it. Any takers?
