I've had a lot of fun sittin' on the dock of the 'Bay waitin' for the Win98 CD to sail in, but playtime has been fun and productive:
It may be a case of overkill, maybe not, but the aTOMICnETtOP™ is underneath the desk set up on the bedroom KVM Switch along with Pismo500 and HP_Maxi. Just gotta fab a nice padded footrest for the front/corner as it transforms my knee to an ergonomically correct elbow rest cum chinrest. As is, it feels better than the "Snow White" serrated edge of that LaserWriter cart was before I switched to an optically correct angled flight deck for landing the chair in front of the 20" 1200x1600 LCD Pivot. It doesn't even try to trip me up or savage my shin when I walk past it without pushing it back in! [

Now I find myself in the curious situation of digging up a PCI ATA/ATAPI card just to run the DVD and Zip Drives! [:O] ]'>
If you look underneath the wires in the top bay, you can just see the pretty little purple Sonnet Tempo Bridge adapting that ATA drive to the SATA port of the MoBo . . .
. . . never figured on setting the Atom board up in a Vanilla Clone case (with IDE/ATAPI peripherals) but still, DuOh! [:I] ]'>
^Dimetrodon (that ASUS A7V8X-LA/2GB MaxMem config of Char-Broiled DIMMs) didn't have much need for its case until I find or acquire some RAM that's more on the rare side, so I figured the Atom board needed some exercise. I always figured on fitting it out with a USB FDD, but really now!
It's running ubuntu NetBook Remix 9.10 ATM . . . I wonder if this thing will run Win98? [

p.s. Win98 finally made landfall and I wrassle'd with it until 4AM, but that is another story . . .
