Bob,

If your looking at the OpenRB boards you might also take a look at AMD Geode
based boards.  I've been playing the pcengines ( Alix ) and Soekris
Engineering ( NET5501 )boards.

http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm
http://www.soekris.com/net5501.htm

Both boards have CF and IDE interfaces.  The net5501 board also has a SATA
port on it as well.
