Re: Wearable config (was: RE: Good HMDs)

Current working wearable (WEll it kinda is... it's getting mothballed soon
for pc104 setup)

386 mini-baby AT motherboard...
ide,svga,sound,network card ... all 2.5 inches tall, with brackets removed
(I found there are lots of cards only 2.5 inches tall)
power converters for 5,12 and -12 volts.
battery, twiddler,M-1,GPS,Packet radio for Net interface (DEAD now.. I dont
need 24/7 net access)

The twiddler and M1 cost all the money... everything else was scrounged from
computer store junk bins.. (note: be very friendly to them and they give you
things they would throw out.) and corperate dumpsters.

my wearable is 8 inches by 6 inches by 3 inches less battery.  Oh... laptop
512 meg HDD in there too....
