you can hook up the laptop batteries in parallel to get more runtime, but you have to charge them in a laptop or external charger. You can get regulators that can convert from 12v to 5v. search the archives and there are two main regulators people use. On the display page you give, the 2" display and the Olympus probably have about the same resolution, but the Olympus will be easy to look at up close for long periods of time. These are NTSC displays only so expect around 320x240 resolution. Check the archives for SVGATextMode for linux to use these displays. Or there are tools to run MS Windows at low res. good luck Bryan On Wed, 28 May 2003, Jennifer Pellinen wrote: > I have been interested in wearable computers for a few > years now.
