2008-09-05 Thread Uriel
In recent years I have donated two epia mini-itx boards with plenty of cool goodies to two persons that at the time intended to write drivers for them, as far as I know nothing came out of either. If they are kind enough to ship them to Greece I will be happy to donate at least one of the boards t

if we had common hardware it might be easier. You can get via c800 boards for $99. Maytbe you can get a bundle and include the cost in the workshop. Spend a day hacking on drivers. It ought to be a day. ron
