Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC capable flat panel linux box for $99

I doubt that it will do EMC, might do it with a lot of tinkering, how much
time do you have ?.

First and foremost 16 Mb flash for the operating system, i.e. no hard drive
although I have heard that a hard drive can be added.

Second: x86 can mean almost anything in this situation, 386, 486, Cyrix,
AMD. Real Intel PC architecture I doubt.

These boxes are a step or two above web TV systems. It's been tried before,
about two years ago IIRC

You will get little support from the CAD CAM CNC etc groups as most have
experience only with PC type boxes.

Just how far out on the bleeding edge do you wish to go??

Been there done that bleeding edge thing too many times, got the scars to
prove it. Got bragging rights along with a lot of heartache
