I originally ordered my PCM-5822 from Advantech with the rail enclosure and the PS-50 DC-DC power supply with enclosure. I was expecting to be able to use these two enclosures to mount and carry my wearable hardware. I am currently carrying my hardware on a web pistol belt using BlackHawk pouches to carry my batteries, HMD control unit, and twiddler (when not in my hand). This has worked well enough, but it is bulky and draws too much attention (especially after Sept 11th - looks too much like a bomb :^/ ). I've looked at purchasing an Scott eVest, but I'm concerned it wont work for me and I'll end up wasting the money. Just how wide, tall, and deep are the inside pockets? Doug's soft shell method seems too fragile to me. He's bemoaned the destruction of his video connectors in more than one thread. I'm also worried about cooling, I don't have a fan and I don't want to shorten the life time of my board by cooking the silicon. Ideally, I'd like to use a solution like MIT's MIThril soft mounting and zipper the vest into my other clothing. But, the PCM-5822 is a tad big mount this way - especially with the PCMCIA PC-104 adapter mounted on it. Does anyone have suggestions, advice (pro and con), or comments that may help myself and others on the list who are battling with this problem? -Freeman -- 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* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
