Kinda hard to say. Do you have a specific problem with the box? Are you looking for some tech specs on a particular piece of hardware? Are you trying to find out if the Linux kernel will support a specific piece of hardware? When confronted with hw problems and no docs, I usually google on various part numbers I find in the box. I believe the FCC has a database of hw IDs on the web. BUT: You really should consider the amount of time you will be putting into debugging your hardware problem versus just buying a replacement box. -- John Hebert System Engineer I T Group, Inc. 225-922-4535
