Anyone know of any reasonably priced SBCs out there? Preferably x86,
but other platforms could be interesting...
I've been working with Netgear WGT634Us for a few months... They're
amazingly cheap (can be had refurbished for $35), but not as flexible
as a nice SBC. Here's the specs:
200Mhz MIPS-like CPU
32Mb RAM
8Mb Flash (can store kernel, NVRAM, and filesystem)
1 Mini-PCI slot populated with an 802.11G NIC
1 USB2 port
5 10/100 ethernet ports, all connected to an internal switch, but
individually addressable via vlans.
2 115200 bps 3.3v serial ports (console on one)
7 bi-color LEDs
1 'reset' switch
and the whole shebang runs on 12v, 1 amp... which is pretty easy to
get just about anywhere.
I'd be especially interested in an x86 or PPC board with a PCI slot
and SATA... or two PCI slots... There's always Mini-ITX, but I'd
prefer not to drop over $100 on each board... Nearly impossible, I
know, but one can hope.
