If the Beaglebone replaces the PC and the FPGA card, then it certainly works out cheaper than a PC + Mesa Card or PC + Pico Card. I would guess that you still need some form of breakout board for the BeagleBone. The 5i25 is $80 and will wire directly to your existing parallel breakout. I guess it all depends on what you want to achieve from any proposed upgrade/swap. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
