On http://www.cix.co.uk/~index/ there is a Amiga-motherboard with 680EC030-28Mhz processor and 10MB RAM. The card is about 12"*4.5" and has the following usefull ports: IDE-interface Floppy-interface 1 Ser&1 par 2 joystick/mouse-ports keyboard RGB 15-pin composite-video out sound out only 8-bit sound in only 8-bit mono a ISA-slot It runs the AmigaOS, Workbench i don´t know if it is capable of running the amiga-port of linux. It has build in video-out and is cheap, around $530 so using it with a small second hand 2.5" HD and a camcorder-viewfinder would be a possible small-budget wearable. Even if the sound is only 8-bits it`s capable of text-to-speech with good quality, there is no problem to understand what it says. The text-to-speech program is freeware and work with alot of languages including swedish and danish. As all amigas it´s capable of Mac-emulation even if a 030-Mac isn´t really good. I admit i am a amiga-freak, but anyone else think this is intresting? ############################################################## # Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive. # # HAL 9000: Dave.
