Follow up, since I still have not had any luck with the Intel boards on XP ... PV530A-ITX from ASRock with the Via PV530 1.8Ghz processor. ONLY a VGA graphics port (no HDMI/TV stuff), parallel and serial, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ... and only £39 ... add £10 for a 2Mb memory stick, and I'm just looking at a 16Gb Solid State Drive at £26 but I'm still not sure on the 'life' of that? Will it get warn out or can we disable all of the log writing. Stocks of the Morex case I normally use seem to have dried up, so I'm looking for an alternative that will still support the PCI slot. Drop a parallel port card on that and you have 3 accessible ports. But most of the ITX cases simply ignore the option :( ASRock do not list Linux drivers, but VIA provide them. The live disk loaded up fine but I need to ship some Mach3 boxes before I get back to LinuxCNC. Since these have hard disks I'm loading them dual boot anyway. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
