14:47.29jbevrenwb
14:47.58prpplaguethanks
14:48.01prpplaguehave net problems today
14:48.08prpplaguelike the 3rd time this morning
15:13.18prpplaguehttp://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=COM10705
15:13.23prpplaguenice little box
15:13.27prpplagueuses a geode
15:13.32prpplaguehas internal ide header
15:13.55jbevrenis that a cf slot?
15:14.21jbevrenhave any pictures of internals? :)
15:15.22prpplaguejbevren: sorry no, i used them a while back when i was with abcs
15:15.23prpplague~emulate abcs
15:15.24purlif we can't sell it for 500% markup we aren't interested!
15:15.24jbevrenhehe
15:15.51prpplaguejbevren: you can make a nice little pc out of that
15:16.04prpplaguejbevren: good for surfing the web and such
15:17.13jbevrenor as it's intended; a terminal :)
15:17.33prpplaguejbevren: yea you could load ltsp on there
15:17.35jbevrenso is the slot in the front for cf or pcmcia?
15:17.43prpplaguejbevren: it has DOC internally
15:18.00prpplaguejbevren: it has a place for pcmcia, but most models didn't have it installed
15:18.11jbevrenok
15:18.20jbevren16M doc? (I have one of those floating around someplace)
15:18.47prpplagueyea they were all 16mb i had
15:18.59jbevrennod
15:19.05jbevrenplenty for an X-only distro
15:19.07jbevren<PROTECTED>
15:19.15prpplagueseems like they might have gone to cf adapters and internally right before i left
15:19.39jbevrenI guess the bios is pretty standard
15:19.45jbevrenmy boca java terminal was
15:19.49prpplaguejbevren: yea
15:19.58jbevrenit didnt say so, but f2 got you to setup etc :)
15:19.58prpplaguejbevren: only a few modifications
15:20.18prpplaguejbevren: iirc it doesn't have the circuity to reflash the bios
15:20.29prpplaguejbevren: you'd need to remove the chip and flash it externally
15:21.08jbevrennod
15:21.16jbevrenif the bios loads a kernel, I wont bother reflashing :)
15:21.27jbevrendont fix what's not broken (etc)
15:22.29prpplaguejbevren: yea, well, i've had some problems running x with some of the bios's
15:22.41jbevrenah
15:22.57jbevrensounds like something Xorg should fix
15:22.57jbevrenhehe
15:23.06jbevrenI digress
15:23.14jbevrenwhat ports do they have on the rear?
15:23.16prpplaguejbevren: but that was awhile ago, almost 3 years
15:23.35prpplaguejbevren: they have keyboard and ps/2 , 10baseT and audio
15:23.44prpplaguejbevren: if it is the same model i'm thinking of
15:23.48jbevrenno video? :) (Serial?)
15:23.57prpplaguejbevren: there is an internal pci/isa slot
15:24.04prpplaguejbevren: yea vga as well
15:24.05jbevrennicey nice
15:24.12prpplaguejbevren: been a long time
15:24.34jbevrenwonder if its beefy enough for teamspeak heh
15:25.56jbevrenhowever, if it has an isa/pci slot
15:26.03jbevrenmy boca had a riser slot, but no riser :X
15:27.22*** join/#edev redblue (i=star@ppp219.110-253-207.mtl.mt.videotron.ca)
15:32.39prpplaguehttp://thinplanet.com/News/generic.asp?f=number&k=s&v=NE105820&ss=Maxspeed
15:35.00prpplaguejbevren: thats a little different from the one i used
15:35.08prpplaguejbevren: i must have had an earlier model
15:35.21prpplaguejbevren: thats a real bargain
15:35.58jbevrenI googled a bit, didnt find much
15:36.17jbevrenhm
15:36.19jbevrenthat one's for a wbt
15:36.21prpplaguejbevren: yea it has 32mb flash
15:36.29prpplaguejbevren: what?
15:36.30jbevrenSC's is a 5200s
15:36.38jbevrenthei article covers the 5200wbt
15:36.48jbevrenthe base system is probably the same though
15:36.55prpplaguejbevren: yea the base is the same
15:38.41prpplaguejbevren: for you could setup a class room with 10 of those easy
15:39.08jbevrenyeah
15:40.16jbevrenor a handful of slave myth backends (assume there's a hardware video encoder in the pci slot) :)
15:40.46prpplaguejbevren: man thats a good deal, some schools here should really use those
15:40.59jbevrennod
15:41.05jbevrenwhat I dont get is this $100 laptop dealy
15:41.07jbevrenheh
15:41.12jbevrenwith all this $20 hardware floating about
15:41.13prpplaguejbevren: why?
15:41.47prpplaguejbevren: well the $20 has alot more value in it, its just been traded around alot
15:41.54jbevrennod
15:42.00jbevrenbut hardware is hardware, used or not :)
15:42.01prpplaguejbevren: still probably originally cost $300+ to make
15:42.26jbevrenmy point: lesser-endowed facilities should be looking for used reliable hardware
15:42.48jbevrenits easier to afford a handful fo these and one application server than a bunch of windows xp terminals heh
15:43.30prpplagueyea
15:48.51jbevrenmake a nice tftp/nfs box with an internal hdd too :)
15:49.04prpplagueyea
15:49.17prpplagueyou could put a nicely loaded busybox distro on there
15:50.51jbevrenonce I figure out the DoC driver heh
15:51.03jbevrenI remember trying with my boca term, but that was (of course) ages ago
15:52.21prpplaguejbevren: i'm pretty sure those have internal cf cards
15:52.48jbevrensweeeeet.
15:55.13prpplaguehttp://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=IMG10090
15:55.18prpplaguei'd still like to hack those
15:55.30jbevrennod
15:55.38jbevrenget to it, then :)
15:59.50jbevrenbtw, know anything about the linksys rev.4 wpc11 (rtl8180) drivers?
16:10.17prpplaguesorry no
16:12.11prpplaguejbevren: nice embeddable modem - http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=NET10248
16:12.47jbevrenI saw some seller on ebay had a 33k6 modem in a 24pin  dip pcb
16:12.55jbevrenI thoguht that was pretty cool :)
16:13.46jbevrenhttp://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=ACC10970
16:13.49jbevrenthat's a cute keypad
16:14.08prpplagueHA
16:14.13prpplaguei was just looking at that
16:14.18jbevrenlol
16:14.28prpplagueyou could use that with alot of stuff
16:14.33jbevrenyep
16:17.09jbevrenI want to mount a smallish lcd display on my car's ashtray sled
16:17.10jbevrenheh
16:17.22jbevrenits the type that slides into the dash, so it'd look innocent enough when not in use
16:18.39jbevrendamn you plague :)
16:25.03prpplaguehttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=967208-0403-CS&cat=PDA
16:25.07prpplaguei have a bunch of those
16:33.16evildevilprpplague, would be nice to have one of those keyboards for my zire 72
16:33.31prpplagueevildevil: run linux?
16:35.10evildevilprpplague, on the palm?
16:35.38prpplagueevildevil: on the zire 72 (is that a palm device?)
16:36.38evildevilprpplague, i don't think that it can run linux (AFAIK)
16:36.50evildevilprpplague, yes, it's a palm
16:36.51prpplagueevildevil: ahh
16:38.20prpplague~quote scox
16:38.58agaffneystupid people
16:39.01agaffney*lots* of stupid people
17:29.56jbevren:)
18:41.27*** mode/#edev [+o prpplague] by ChanServ
19:34.48sorphinpeople that don't care about linux, they care about stock price
19:39.43prpplaguesorphin: but they should be concerned that scox is getting @#$@#4 knocked out of them in court
19:39.54prpplaguesorphin: seems like that would make the price go down not up
19:40.13prpplaguesorphin: i swear everytime they get a defeat in court the stock price goes up

23:38.39joe_bleauSomeone reco'd it to me a few weeks back.
23:38.57joe_bleauI think I've seen an e-version floating around somewhere...
23:41.09agaffneyhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596005954/ref=pd_ys_ir_all_41/104-3097259-4055166?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155
23:41.12agaffneyI may get that
23:41.22agaffneyI'm decent with bash/sed/grep/find/cut, but I could always be better
