Doesn't that essentially get you a VIA EPIA motherboard (except for the
SCSI)? Only problem there is that it doesn't run OSX.
On my PC at home, although I have "legacy" ports on my Shuttle XPC, I
don't
use them. I have a USB scanner and color printer. The laser printer is
attached to the network though a Netgear print server. The DV_cam connects
through FireWire and I use a card reader for the Memory Sticks from my Sony
camera. I have a 56k modem, but it's internal. I don't really have any
Err, where do you connect the EPROM programmer, the IC tester, the cable
wirelister, the GAL programmer, the serial link to the PDP11, the
GPIB-interfaced instruemtns [1], the HP calculator, and various other
things that generally get hung off my PC ?
[1] Does a USB-GPIB interface exist? I assume it must do, but I've not
seen one (I've not seriously looked either, my GPIB stuff is generally
controller by HP hosts [2])
[2] I've managed to find the HPIB interface for the 9830. A load of TTL
gates and almost no FFs. As soon as I get some space on the bench, I'll
get it going...
