Hello, I am new to the group and to wearable computers (well to the idea of making my own) I have been interested in the idea ever since I saw something on TV (PBS maybe) a long time ago about Steve Mann and MIT. Anyway I hope to build my own in the next year or as my finances allow me to buy the parts. I was figuring on starting with PC/104 board. I figured I would stick with what seems to be the standard (from the reading I have been doing) the Advantech PCM-5822, but I can't seem to find a source or a price on this. Anyone know where to get one and how much it will run me? I will also get a laptop hard drive (20 gigs). I figured this would be a good place to start.. attempting to install and configure linux with my current input/output hardware (keyboard/crt). Then I will get the twiddler so I can practice input.. then last purchase the monocular. My other question revolves around the power supply. I am not sure as to what is needed to make this thing work off of batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am excited to get started. thanks, Jeremy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
