When I wrote Plug and Play I was not thinking in the Windows 95 P&P but in a shrink-wrap solution like the NetWinder. The NetWinder includes network, irDA, digital audio, video in/out and a hard disk all in the same box. If you want to build such a system with PC/104 boards then you will have to stack several boards, possibly from different manufacturers, and find drivers for your OS. > Problem with WinCE - you'd have to use an existing platform such as a PDA. They are small, light and use few power... But I belive it can be quite difficult to expand them. -- Ivan Porres Paltor Turku Centre for Computer Science Åbo Akademi, Department of Computer Science Phone: +358-2-2154033 Lemminkäinengatan 14A FIN-20520 Turku - Finland http://www.abo.fi/~iporres -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
