RE: audrey hack

I'd recommend reading the Linux hacking BBS at:

http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowBoar
d&Board=3Com_Audrey&Idle=&Sort=&Order=

I've spent part of this morning just coming up to speed
on the Audery.  For $89 from TigerDirect I can stand
playing with one.  If it doesn't work, I can reuse the
display and touch screen for my own hacking.

TigerDirect deal can be found at:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=M97
5-9000

Beware - TigerDirect will not take returns or support calls
on with this deal.  They will guarantee against DOA only.

BTW Andrew, the CF slot takes _ONLY_ 32Mb CF cards.
