The question would be what is the minimal requirements for a usable system? I know that a 386 can be made to boot and run. Along the same lines, I think 2 MB can be done with 4 being the minimum for most distributions. But that being said, what is the real minimum for us? Also, what price range is acceptable. I am sure that the complexity of the app will have an effect on the minimum requirements. Along those lines, if you go with something put together ourselves from either DIMM modules of PC104 modules, we can allow for more options. The bottom unit might be a 386 with 2 MB of ram. The max would be about a 486 with 16 MB ram and 240 MB of disk space (solid state). Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ Your fly might be open (but don't check it just now).
