It seems like the milkymist has almost everything I asked for *except* it's got VGA, and not DVI/hdmi. I am not a PCB guy, so can someone quote me a price to modify the Milkmist design to have a dvi/hdmi port, and cost for a run of say 25 boards? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
