Yes we have 30 ST320s they have been re-chipped and Optomia for us. They are meant to be identical to the Jammin 125. They work well sound is fine and the X drivers are fine. Ours only have 22Mb of Memory which does mean we need Network Swap.I have precisely 0 experience with them, but it appears that they run Wince or XPe, which means that no matter what OS you run on them, microsoft still profits from the deal. The get money from an OS sale, and they get to jack their installed-based numbers - which contributes to commercial developers preferring to develop for (only) microsoft platforms.
I have no control over you of course, but I hope you'll vote with your dollars for a better candidate.

Has anyone any experience of using these with LTSP - e.g. can you PXE boot them or do you need to get them flashed? There's a reseller in the UK selling them for UKP175, which seems a reasonable price for a thin client.
Thanks - John

Optomia apparently manufacture them and are based in Watford. In fact when we got ours they said that the Jammin was bought from them and re-chipped.
The only problem and it is quite major is that they freeze. The Freezing looks like heat related, and they only freeze when placed in places were their is no where for the heat to go, Next to VGA displays, Inside woodern boxes, in direct sun light, etc. We NEED to get this sorted, but otherwise their fine, Our problem was that Optomia were trying to blame linux for this random freezing and nobody can trace it down. As it seams so random, however I'm almost sure its heat related. Unless anyone has any ideas of what else to try, The screen freezes the keyboard lights stick, and they stop resoponding to the Network.
Odly the Jammin we have also freezes.
