Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for the link :) sound fascinating.
I've been tempted to hookup with some of me CpE/EE friends and try and make our
own board. Perhaps use a x86 SBC and run crafty as the engine. A robot arm would
 be awesome to... but alas I dream :) a LED light one would be more reasonable
though.

I really enjoy you dedicated computer info and links.

Take care.
Sincerely,
Joshua Shriver
