I was reviewing MIThrill for the seven-hundredth time and came up with the bright idea I could use a x86 (386 pc104) for input like twiddler, jpeg frame grabber/camera , usb host/and slave , floppy?, ATA or dma IDE? , and a modified pcmcia or pc104 video card?(AGP x1 with SBA bus handling data requests and AD bus only doing geometry, and overclock the AD bus from 66mhz to maybe 83mhz, that way I keep the AGP's AD bus uncongested and running with a slight fever! ) anyways I wanna run linux and I was thinking it maybe possible to telnet in via ethernet and do an X session with a faster processor pda like StrongARM like IPAQ or Mips like a Casio E-100 (I got one of these) of course there isnt a huge advance with a 133mhz Mips (E100) but it would help later on when I get the big cahuna of StrongARM pda's the IPAQ well tell me what ya think and what if any resources may help me with distributed processing schemes a hookup I saw one time a guy had windows2000 running with a server running so his hacked up Win Internet Appliance could interface with the Win2000 so Win2000 would do everything including handle any data his mic enabled sound card(pcmcia) put in or camera card or whatever I am not talking about VNC, but rather making a 386 a bus expaspansion device and interface to a faster different architexture -- 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
