Re: Single Board Computer

[Stuart Poulton <swp@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Has anyone considered the SV24 with a VIA C3 processor, The 800Mhz version
of this chip being £43.50 from dabs.

Chip details

http://www.via.com.tw/en/viac/c3.jsp

The manual claims that these are supported chips.

One other advantage of this board is the addition of firewire, giving you
an easy upgrade path for adding additional harddrives.

Cheers

Stuart
