Tony, actually, the power supply port was designed for Nokia chargers 
and requires a great deal more power than USB's standard 500mA allows, 
so you can't power it directly from a normal USB port.

I have a friend with a 3D printer and a few rolls of black ABS plastic

I've an idea for a case not so much like a QL but more an Acorn Atom, 
with an external slot for a standard sized bread-board PCB with an edge 
connector so as to easily build and slot in hardware projects without 
opening the case. The only problem being that I need someone with 
knowledge of (single-sided) PCB design, power regulation circuitry and 
3D CAD. Oh, and someone with a 3D printer and/or injection moulding 
facilities if I wanted to try to market the kit.


Other than those skills I'm fine! ;-)

Yes in theory at 700ma plus usb devices, but 
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63t=6050 finds 210ma max.


It works fine on all USB sockets I have used.  I suspect though that  my 
monitor allows more than 500ma. I wonder whether it has the 
'intelligence' to complain (8-)#


My M/C helmet, BT keyboard charger and Apple chargers will also do.

The GPIO header looks great.  Other that power and ground it looks 
user-definable.  I must see if I can get the QL I2C devices working.  I 
presume drivers do not yet exist.


Also an LCD monitor (via ribbon to the motherboard) would open the way 
for long lasting battery powered units.


At present it is not possible to ssh in - 'connection refused' - and 
sshd is running.  Where do I investigate I wonder?

Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Someone should do a GPIO-USB cable. That way, the Pi could gets its
power from its own GPIO port :o)

we are doing a case variant which comes with a 15cm ribbon cable and connector 
everything you need for HW hacking ;)
Should be on EBAY soon but if you are interested shout me directly

According to Eben the Nokia N900 display should work but I don't think there's 
any drivers as of yet.

Login as raspberry user I think root is disabled.
Also load the latest Image then do an apt-get update  on it as it cleans up a
