Some laptops handle RT properly, they are low power by def and 12 V to
laptop converters are available.  I am working on infrastructure to port 
EMC2
to the Beagleboard, a 3 W computer that is 3 x 3 inches.  But, we aren't 
there,
yet.  I am working on a board to put a standard EPP port on it, and a guy in
Germany is working on the RTAI port.  But, none of this will be available
in the next few months.  You could probably port the sim version of EMC
to it now, if you wanted to.  It already runs many flavors of Linux.
