It might be hard to find another one as cheap.

It's nice and small but has MediaGX audio/video. This mated with a PC/104+ frame grabber would be 4x4x1 inches, would have awesome video, and if we can figure out how to load these NS CX5530 linux drivers it would also have full duplex audio. http://www.dspdesign.com/tp300prod.htm -- Doug ------------------------------------------------------------ Grow your own Wearables: http://wearables.los-gatos.net What I'd like is to have you call me and my jacket answers ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
