Apparently, Compaq likes to (surprise) reuse product names. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb22/iPAQ/10638_na.html It's a full i386 computer, though free of expansion slots or 5.25" drive bays. It has provisions for a laptop-style CDROM drive (only two of the 20 machines had that), no floppy, unless you got one for the CDROM bay. i810 chipset. Celeron 500MHz, though apparently other things can go in them. Other than the bottom, not a flat surface on them, which makes them very difficult to handle, store, stack or relocate. In fact, while they are small and light enough that I should be able to carry probably four or five at a time, the awkward shape pretty well limits it to two at a time, as there is just nothing to hold onto (and even picking the two up is a challenge). However, the form is not at all bad for our project. HW-wise, it's very solid OpenBSD-compatible stuff, and seems to work well. It's got classic annoying Compaq quirks (it wants a keyboard), but they are able to be worked around. Interesting test (even more off-topic than the rest, but...) With JUST the flash drive, idle OpenBSD power draw was about 21W. With added HD, idle OpenBSD power draw was about 26W With bc soaking all available processor time, power was up to 44W. (and you thought those distributed computing projects were "free"...) (my Wattmeter reads only to the nearest 1W, so all those figures are +/-1W on top of whatever the accuracy of the thing is.) (the hard disk is installed on this thing so I can start imaging and making additional flash cards on my dev system, not for production.) Nick.
