Has
anyone used the small embedded PC boards that are available ... usually
they
are pretty much a self contained low spec PC with onboard audio and video
in a
PCB about the area of a CD ROM drive? Any comments on which are good?
Which are the best prices? Where to get them from?
I
was going to try one for building an in-car MP3 player ... 80Gb IDE drives
are
just dirt cheap now!
One
would also be useable as a HA controller...

info on the following.
