Yes! And I have been really pleased with the result. With Jim McQ's help over the last hurdles I have it all working. My last email on the topic gave a fairly turgid HOWTO for setting it up. The most important detail was that you needed the initrd_kit and had to boost the inode and block size parameters for the randisk.
My working ASUS Sis960ET Workstation has a standard Micro-ATX box with 2 rather noisy fans. My focus now is on trying to make a fanless version of the hardware. I intend to try the VIA C3 CPU on the ASUS TUSI-M board. The Asus website responded to our enquiry and said that the chip is supported by the board provided you upgrade the BIOS to the latest version. (Apparently this is not as difficult as it sounds). The VIA C3 CPU is not distributed in NZ, so I am trying to import one myself for testing. If there is any interest on the list, I will report my findings. A local manufacturer is willing to make up a fanles micro-ATX power supply, but insists that I have to specify the current requirements for each voltage line (+12v -12v +5v +3.3v). When I get the VIA C3 chip I will get angineering friends to put ammeters between the powersupply and the board while it is running. I am hoping to be able to build the final silent WS into a box 10" x 7" x 2" , probably with a separate power supply. My hope is to be able to produce WS for about NZ$600 (about US$240) (not counting screen, keyboard, or mouse). If anyone has knowledge in either of these areas to share with the list, I would be nost appreciative. In particular, anyone with knowledge of the current drawn by a board running LTSP is welcome to tell us! John O'G Does anyone have a working 2.4.18-ltsp-pxe kernel with the > latest sis900 drivers?
