We have a dos-based industrial control application that we want to migrate from a 'real' dos workstation to something like a network-attached virtual dos workstation. One objective is to make it administrable via browser from anywhere on the network rather than by physically walking up to its console. We would like to have the DOS instance hosted on a high-availability fanless solid state host like the NET5501's we use elsewhere. The only industrial control I/O required is a serial port.
Has anyone done or seen anything like this on Soekris? Any projects I should be looking at? Is Soekris the wrong fit? I've looked at Mini-ITX type solutions. I considered building up a 'headed' ITX unit with a wear-leveling SLC SDD, and simply sticking a KVMoIP device to it. Not exactly elegant. We're not particularly cost sensitive. There's an important industrial process riding on this two-bit DOS pc. Ideas? Experiences? Thanks! -Karl _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
