Quoth Philip Mullis at 2009-09-13 11:11... > Have you looked at the alix pcengines boards? there amd geode based and you can get 3 port versions for around 110usd perhaps easier to get in your region than soekris. These look pretty cool - and cheap. I've been mucking around with some ancient PC104 SBCs, planning to get some sort of Flash FreeBSD installation so I can hook it into a GPS module and use it as a Stratum 1 NTP server. Might be a lot easier to use one of these instead - and as I need to track down a load of extra (and old fashioned) RAM, may not cost more either. Don't suppose anyone has a suitable disc image that will fit on a 4Gb CF card? (Part of the reason I haven't got very far with this is the fact that getting FreeBSD to install in 4Gb seems more fiddly than I have the time for.) What I really like about these Alix boards is that the regulator will take up to 16V (absolute maximum) - ideal for 13.8V float charging a lead acid battery.
