Currently,
I'm attempting to use a Websurfer Pro. This is Set top box.
Current specs:
Cyrix MediaGX 180Mhz
64MB Ram (upgraded from the original 16MB)
1 Riser card with 1 ISA and 1 PCI slot on it. Both of these can function
at the same time.
2 USB ports
16MB DiskOnChip 2000 (fits nicely into the integrated slot)
There is no onboard IDE controller. I've added an ISA IDE Controller to
get it to a working state, but I don't want it there long term.
Currently, I have the DOC formatted as a dos system, and syslinux actually
tries to boot from the DOC, but Eigerstein (the release I am most familiar
with) wasn't able to continue once it loaded, due to the inability to find
the right packages (I think).
My current genius idea is to take Dachstein CD, trim to 12MB or so, modify
it to boot off the DOC. Using a ISA PCMCIA Bridge (for my wireless
ethernet card) and USB ethernet (the
ports work using Dachstein WHHHEEEEEE!) make into my home firewall.
