well, since the PC/104 people are making them stackable for industrial apps, that just happen to have similiar usage patterns as wearables.... they work in hot vibrating environments and such, but are in little boxes, not on people's backs. The only people I know that are making flexible stuff are Via. and it is pretty nice, so when they sell it, hopefully it won't cost too much. They have a Cyrix processor and what looked like supporting logic, maybe video, I don't know, all in an about 2" wide, <=1mm thick avg, 18" long about, flexible board. Other than that, they have things to allow you to put PC/104 modules next to one another, instead of stacking, and you can put your PCMCIA module up to 2' away I think using specific boards, so you could have two boards next to each other on your lower back, then a cable coming around to the front with PCMCIA slots in it, and the other side all your ports, only an inch or so thick avg probably. the NFP-950s would be the thickest part.
