Hi,
    I've been watching the <A href="http://www.gumstix.com">Gumstix</A> website for a long time now, thinking it would be a great base for a very small wearable - wire a HMD directly to the LCD pinouts and put something like <A href="http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/">Damn Small Linux</A> on a MMC or CF card.  The only problem is that Gumstix does not have USB Hosting, and I want to put my Twiddler 2 on it for input and control.
      The German MiniTC/MiniPC DT166 looks great except it's VGA out and I would need either LCD or Composite Video.  Does anyone know if the DT166 outputs Video on it's VGA connector?
    If it did then you could use a VGA - Video adapter like this <A href="http://cgi.ebay.com/VGA-to-TV-CONVERTER-S-VIDEO-RCA-OUT-CABLE-ADAPTER_W0QQitemZ5228129566QQcategoryZ3759QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">Cable on eBay</A>.  Or can you buy a wearable VGA to Video Converter quite cheaply?
   Thanks
