This is exactly the type of situation I am trying to work on/with. I am 
forced to carry a bag around with me almost all of the time. In this bag, I 
can carry whatever I need to, be it the board, it's enclosure, batteries, and 
transmitters. At the moment I have it set up so that the 5822 is running in 
the bag in a large, roughly made aluminum enclosure, and hooked up with 
banana plugs to an old Dell laptop battery. Then, the keyboard and mouse are 
hooked up to a wireless keyboard transmitter (RF), and the tv-out is hooked 
up to a wireless transmitter, which is hooked up to the tv. What I really 
would like to do is get the transmitter to transmit to to my semi-hacked 
glasstrons, with a small receiver format. However, I have found that in most 
wireless ntsc transmitters, the receiver is the bulkier of the two 
components. Any ideas?

Also, I'd love a wireless twiddler II, but don't have the ability to come up 
with anything myself. Any progress? Ideas?

These only obstacles remaining are finishing the glasstron, small wireless 
NTSC receiver (low power), and wireless input device that is workable. Both 
wireless components would be short range (I am always within ten feet of my 
bag).
