minor success story

I bought and flashed (Midori) a IA1 about a year go and then put it aside having lost interest. I dug it out a couple of weeks ago and
started playing with it again. I remember getting wireless working last year with a CF card, but was not able to get it going again
this time. So, I bought a USB to wired ethernet adapter, F=MA brand. That worked with no trouble. Trying to run Linux with no F keys (as on the standard keyboard) is a real PITA. I just received today a little USB to mini-DIN keyboard plus mouse adapter. $7 delivered. That also worked with no trouble. So, now I have a much nicer wired keyboard and mouse for the IA1. I'm using fbi to give a full-time slideshow via a nfs mounted filesystem. I look forward to finding a wireless USB adapter for the IA1. The Midori image is getting pretty old; keeping my eye on it's website but don't really expect any updates.

Anyone else still playing with IA1s?
