I am also seriously = considering using the "worlds cheapest wearable computer keyboard" i saw = it on one of the wearable resources wearables.blue.org i think, its a = leather glove with snaps sewen on, as my input to avoid spending $200 on = a twiddler. That said, I own a p4 with a isa driver card. that said i'm = thinking of building a wearable using this: JUMPtec MOPSlcd6 low power Pentium 166MHz with LCD/VGA The JUMPtec MOPSlcd6 offers Pentium MMX performance, LCD/VGA support, = USB and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet in the PC/104 form factor. Its power = consumption is less than 8 Watts, and no heat sink or fan are necessary. = The MOPSlcd6 has an onboard PCI C&T Graphic Controller that allows = support for mono-LCD, TFT and STN displays with resolutions up to SXGA = (1280 x 1024). The MOPSlcd6 offers USB support and optional 10/100 = Ethernet. The MOPSlcd6 provides an Intel Pentium166MHz MMX CPU, = harddrive interface, a floppy interface, a parallel port, two serial = ports, a keyboard controller and a realtime clock. It ships with no DRAM = or Flash onboard. 2 SODIMM sockets on board allow for up to 64MB SDRAM. = Flash can only be added with add-on cards. So my question three are: 1. Is this a good choice for my first wearable computer? 2. How can i use my p4 with this? 3. If i decide to scrap the p4 (well, sell the p4) and make my own = colour hmd out of a camcorder viewfinder and use it with the pocket vga = to ntsc scan converter showen on the wearcomp6 faq, is this a better = idea than a p4, as i can use windows, or x-windows for that matter? 4. (ok 4 questions i lied) how hard would it be to add wireless ethernet = to this rig (it has onboard 10baseT) PS: other than linux console, what can i actualy acomplish with a p4?=20 PPS: sory for the length of this post ;) ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01BFB4FD.99E41350 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2920.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Ok, so i'm thinking about building a = wearable (my=20 first) using *roughly* the design for wearcomp6 (credit to the = inventor).
