Re: better tiny computer platforms

Ok example : industrial computers, the only catalog I can find with pricing
on pc-104 cards has the 2 port serial board for $1299.95, the VGA board for
$995.95 and so on. I about freaked when I saw the HUGE jump in pricing. I
have no idea on other PC104 vendors as requests for pricing/catalog have
gone un-answered. and Industrial computers wanted to know where I got their
catalog as they "only deal with companies" which may explain the
non-response form the other companies. Is there a source for PC-104 parts
that will sell to end users that are not corperations or companies and will
probably only buy one item from them?
