Well that's a meager summary :) First of all, Mikes a riot. He was non-stop joking with the exhibitors and us. They loved it. His reserved tone here on the lists belies his great sense of humor. If any of you saw his mug-shot the other day, don't go by that alone. He's great fun to be around, and the picture was the one he used in his Battle Bots ID. Now that's a good game face :-) I particularly liked the computer-geek, two-piece, matching Addidas sweats he wore. Very styling and very nice to meet Mike. So I'm a deadhead, but here comes Ray with longer hair than me, down to his shoulders :-) I got a kick out of that. As you'd imagine from his posts, Ray's also friendly and funny, too. Very nice to meet Ray. I also got a chance to meet Larry Platzec who was another kind soul and funny guy with lots of neat things to say. You had to like the computer geek backpack he had on. I almost brought my own :) Very nice to meet Larry, too. We all met up near the Nat Semi booth and worked our way around the two halls looking for leads on flash storage and mini boards like the PC/104 type. I should have brought my disposable camera, but I forgot it. I figure the place looked like any other computer convention. Quite a few people, and the Microsoft recruiter looked bored :) > We talked with the SST people. It looks like modification of the ADM to > enable WP is possible. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress. I made sure to point out to any flash people I could that nobody make one with hardware write protect. Maybe that will change in the future. I was surprised to see how small Mikes ADM was. It was tiny! Barely any room to do any mods, and the missing R8 is just large enough for your average surface mount resistor, miniture. Finding a ground that Mike can solder to might be a little tricky. > Interesting hardware: > > Amer http://www.amer.com/catalogue/iac/firewall.html > * FW-2100 > * FW-500 > * FW-500ME > * EM-561B > * EM-551 > > ICP America http://www.icpamerica.com/ > * NOVA-7897 (no info on web site yet) > Dual Gigabit LAN, and 4x 10/100Mbps LAN Verslogic, http://www.versalogic.com/ has some nice PC/104 boards. TechnoLand, http://www.technoland.com/ has the 755-3L PC/104 board that has 3 10/100 lan adapters builtin and a 600 MHz Crusoe chip. Smart Modular Technologies, http://www.smartmodulartech.com/ has some nice CF cards, though they don't have write protect. I requested that they make some :) Integrated Memory Logic, http://www.iml-inc.com/ has some great flash storage chips, very small, and they seemed happy to make some that would have hardware write protect switches on the circuit board. Steve Kang, Sr. Director, [EMAIL PROTECTED], in Campbell, Calif. Arbor Solution, Inc., http://www.arborsolution.com/ has all kinds of PC/104 and mini boards. There must have been one with 3 nics on it, but my notes are a mess :) Calvin Chang, Director of Marketing, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amer, http://www.amer.com/ makes mini boards meant for firewalls with 3 onboard nics, like their EM-561B, 1U cases, and all kinds of nifty stuff. Tech Marketing Associates, Inc., http://www.techmarketing.com/ has the SC-13 micro standalone board and similar. ICOP Technology, Inc. http://www.icoptech.com/ has loads of mini boards, PC/104, Mighty Mite, etc. Quite a bit there, fanless, too. That's about it. Hope someone finds this useful, someone with $$ I guess :) Regards, Matthew _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
