| Hi! I lived at 48th and Balboa in the early to mid '90's; looks like I moved too soon! I've had a great time with my iOpener, running various x86 operating systems off the hard drive and flash. I never did install Jailbait Linux -that was my original goal. I believe it still has Slackware on the hdd; it was nice and stable including, if I recall, an USB Pegasus-chipped ethernet device. Unfortunately, I am now an hour or so away, with a brand-new son, so my time for tinkering has been limited, to say nothing of trips back in to SF -I even missed LinuxWorld and Julia Fordham's yearly visit to Bimbo's! I hope your modfest goes well -you might try calling Halted (either Santa Clara or Santa Rosa) for that CD-Rom drive. I picked up a couple for $4.99 for a box I made for USF's Flashmob Computer (a 5" x 7" SBC, 1.3 Celeron in an external SCSI case + laptop hdd and cd). Pop off the proprietaty laptop connector on the back and you have a standard mini-ide header underneath. If you need it, I'll go out to "the shed" and get the HSC stock number. | |
