The AomiccNetBot™ lives! [
] ]'> I had to swap out the cable for the DVD-ROM, but the Zip250 wotked like a charm the first time around. With the new cable, the board tried to play a movie, it needs somethingorother, nopro though, this is just a fun project, who could take this seriously?
I haven't got a SATA drive, so I snagged the Sonnet Tempo Bridge and the ATOM board has been booting just fine off that, but it was stuck in a full size case with full size I/O just sitting there. I've got a few of those Wall Wart combos with the SATA IDE<->USB2 doohickies, but I figured that was too iffy and too much junk in the case. I NEVER thought of using a PCI ATA card in its onliest slot before yesterday, but it's working like a charm. I've got some Dual head VidCards for that slot so I can run three monitors at once just for the heck of it, but cheap, reliable (and free) I/O works just fine for me for the time being.
I'm still working on a two or three possibilities for the tiny ATOM board, but meanwhile I can play with ubuntu on the main workstation KVM setup.
Tomorrow morning I get to finish putting the PIII back together and testing it again, meanwhile . . . :sleepy: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
