RE: Re[2]: Wearable Purchase Questions

What about the Ratoc USB 1.1 Host CF Card? I have one.
It works in Linux. I have used it on my IPaq running
Familiar Linux.

Hi,

    I've been watching the Gumstix 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 Damn Small Linux 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 Cable on eBay.  Or can you buy a wearable
VGA to Video Converter quite cheaply?

   Thanks

       Ben
