I very much doubt MP3 playing is going to work without an FPU. The 2300SX specifications are badly mangled by the website but appear to suggest that it needs [EMAIL PROTECTED] - this is not especially low power and you should be able to find alternatives. Check out www.pcengines.ch and www.ewayco.com [I haven't used either of these manufacturers but have found them in searches]. >Alternatively, porting MATH_EMULATE back from NetBSD etc might be an >option, but might be a larger task, and apparently NetBSD math emulation >did not work out of box either (seems to be a cpu detection bug, based on >mailing list discussions). FreeBSD used to support both MATH_EMULATE and GPL_MATH_EMULATE. Support was removed in July 2003 but the bits are still in the CVS repository. I don't know how much effort would be involved in resurrecting it. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
