I'd be interested in sticking a configured PicoBSD disk into tmachine in order to be able to share it's CD-ROM via NFS. Also, is it possible to share a CD-ROM via SAMBA with PicoBSD? I'm quite happy to use the PicoBSD-Net disk and mount the required files to do either of these via NFS just to get things going. I can then work out how to fit things onto the floppy if required.

Sure. I have a JUMPtec MOPSlcd4 586DX 133MHz, with onboard VGA (optional Ethernet). It's a PC/104 format that uses the chipDisk (A true IDE drive on a chip that doesn't need "fla"). Details at http://www.emjembedded.com/products/single/specmopslcd4.html I've also used their VNS-786 system, if you need something with a little more powerful than a 133. http://www.emjembedded.com/products/single/eb5.html EMJ has other SBC, but I've not tried them. If you do, please let me know how they work. (I don't work for EMJ, in case you were wondering. They've just been very helpful to me.)

The 4821 is a 486dx100, with 4 16550's, Realtek 8091 LAN, pc104, 1 72pin simm slot, you can get it with 4mb onboard but its not quite enough (for our application at least). It has a DoC socket, we used the 8mb version and in conjunction with Tinybsd it works quite well - managed to get kernel, ppp,telnet,ftp in/out, our custom app, and all the useful networking tools into about 4.5mb. The most important thing is it works very nicely - fast and stable. ICP's site: http://www.icp-australia.com.au/ Tinybsd's: http://students.ou.edu/S/Jeffrey.S.Sharp-1/ Cheers, Kent Ibbetson KNF Publishing kibbet@knfpub.com On 21-Sep-00 Phillip Musumeci wrote: > > Hi, > > Has anyone got got any experience with single board embedded systems > running FreeBSD (or any of the BSDs)?

I have a project that would prefer : to buy hardware that is known to work with a BSD OS "as-is". Yes. At Timing Solutions, we've run them on 4 or 5 different boards. Two from Axiom, one from Teknor, one frmo adastra and one from megatel. So far we've not hit one that won't work. I've also run them on Advantec for a consulting client. : We would probably want the system to use an M-systems flash memory device : (e.g. the FreeBSD device "fla" in /sys/contrib/dev/fla). As long as you get good parts, fla works great. There was a while a time ago when they had a lot of bad parts in the channels. This has been corrected. We went with using compact flash in an IDE adapter because that was a little cheaper, the parts were more widely available and we had been given, at the time, 9 month lead times on the doc2k parts.
