First caveat: I'm in Corvallis, so you'd pick it up here or meet me at PDX before a 6:00 am flight.
Second, this thing is perhaps 10 years old. It's suitable for use as a router, perhaps a server, or other special purpose but not as a general purpose machine. I used it as a router (running LEAF) for a couple of years, until I replaced it with a PcEngines microbox that uses enough less power to pay for itself. What's cool is that it's small, about the size of a Shuttle, and built like a tank. The mainboard includes an 8M flash module that's meant to be its main storage, but the floppy could be replaced with a 3.5" IDE drive. The backplane has four ISA slots in addition to the two occupied by the main board. Hmmm. Turns out it, or something very close, is still available: http://www.advantech.com/products/IPC-6806/mod_1-2JKFUC.aspx It's very similar to the two on the left, but does not have USB.
