It'd be nice if DSL run on the PPC , so we could build our micro-custom laptop on the EFIKA board:

Did you see the purchase requirement and price on those things? Click the "buy now" button.... yipes!

(Minimum order quantity is 50 units.)
EFIKA 5K2 (50 units) $14,950.00
(€12750.00)

It would break down as $299.00 per board or so, and you "have to" get 50 units.

doobit, once again you are off the chart! great job! i love that little monitor. is it a POS monitor?

Torp,
That's a VGA TFT monitor designed for 12v for in-car use, mostly for GPS, I think. It also has an AV input and TV tuner, but I have not been able to get the TV tuner to actually pick up any stations. The next step with this will be to take the 12v power that I'm not using for a floppy drive and put a connector on it for the monitor. That will eliminate the need for the separate long wires going to the monitor. I will probably also put a 2.5 inch hard drive in it, or a CF-IDE adapter to eliminate the pen drive, although the pen drive works great with DSL on it.

I have a finished product at that price. I guess they have to pay for development somehow. VIA is supposed to be releasing their 64 bit mini-itx board soon. I hope it's cheaper than that.

I was not definitely thinking on doing any development now. Some other folks are doing that, see:

Wow, it looks like some pretty weak proposals got approved too! Maybe I could get approved for a lunchbox EFIKA that also doubles as an actual lunch box!
