Some days ago I exchanged my MOS9835 based I/O card with newer version based on MOS9845. Old one had one parallel port (which I never used) and two serial ports. New one do not have parallel port but has 6 serial ports instead. Why so much? The answer is simple — more devices on desk require [...] At FOSDEM 2009 I grabbed one Vortex86SX based device — Koala Nano PC which is available at Koan software. Device came with Ångström distribution and was running 2.6.26 kernel. I wanted to get something more fresh on it and after some fighting I booted 2.6.29-rc5 kernel today. Device use Vortex86SX SoC which is based on 486SX [...] Today I got case for Alix.1c mainboard. For reminding: this is PC Engines board in mini-ITX format, powered by AMD Geode LX800. Package arrived from Koan Software and contained one of their products: MiniPC 2PCI case. Package contents There were many addons in the box: 60W 12V AC adapter 2.5″ ATA -> Slim DVD/CD adapter PCI riser for 2 slots wall mounting [...] Since few months I have 10/1Mbps network connection (downlink/uplink).

It looks like DD-WRT which I use now can not handle it on WRT54GS without degrading [...] Today evening I was in IKEA shop near my house and bought GLIS box (blue). Tomorrow I plan to fit ALIX board into it — will require few holes (for Ethernet, VGA, USB, Power ports) and hard disk mounting but will fit and there will be space left. This will allow to put it under [...] x86 architecture is total mess when it comes to naming. Basically there were “i386″, “i486″, “i586″, “i686″ — nothing more was used. But this gives lot of problems. First one — which optimisations can be used on “i686″? It has MMX for sure but does it have SSE? SSEv2? SSEv3? 3DNow! technology? It depends on cpu… [...] |
