Doug,
This is a great price but I have a couple questions, as I am not very
savy with these systems. When you say, replace the ROM chip, what do
you mean by that? Replace it with another ROM chip, and how would I go
about learning to program one, etc.
Instead of a hard drive in the unit, it has Windows CE burned on ROM.
The chip plugs into the unit with a standard 44pin connector. You can
pull the chip, but a laptop cable and plug in a laptop hard drive. From
there, I have a USB DVD drive that I used to install Mandriva 2007.
As for the PCI riser card, I do not see that there would be room or
even a slot for a pci card in the system you linked. to.
I has 1 PCI slot, HP sells a riser card and a slightly larger case cover.
My last and most important question is, can an 800 mhz chip handle
much of a load at all for asterisk once you put a PRI or FXO/S card in?
I would love to pursue this.
I haven't put it to the test, but I personally think 800mhz with 512mb
of memory and a 30gb 5400rpm drive would do just fine. They do have
faster models though, I've seen up to 1ghz. I have photos of my unit if
you'd like me to send them to you off list.
Doug
