Even with all this Beaglebone discussion I've not closed the door on using a
PC motherboard and either the parallel port or an add on card for extra IO.
I mentioned that to my son and he dragged over a box that had one of these
loaded with 2GB RAM
ASUS K8S-MX 754
<https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131518> SiS 760
GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Although the board is no longer available new, the reviews for it are still
up and it's somewhat disconcerting.

Back in 2005 one poster said this but it's also 12 years ago:
"Comments: Via chipsets on this mobo don't have real linux drivers. Sucks.
DOn't buy for linux. Totally unusable. Don't beleive me? Google it!"
Should I toss it?
Thanks
John
