>>>> anyone knows where i can find embedded computers with RS485 ports on board, where i can run OBSD? <<<
>>> PC/104 CPU boards quite commonly have at least one serial port switchable from RS-232 to RS-485. Try Googling for "+CPU +RS485 +PC104", and you should find plenty. <<< >> I was looking for something similar to the Soekris ones, i found some in www.acrosser.com but they have to much unuseful stuff. Anyway to find something runable with OBSD in the PC104 world should be a try and error thing, and to much money to make those tests. << Understood. You might then consider using a board you're happy with, and using an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter. It's common to use the modem control lines (RTS etc) to control the bus state, whether internally or externally, so should make little difference. It may also give you the option of an opto-isolated RS-485 bus, which is often a Good Thing in such cases, and usually essential when routing the bus further than the next desk. If I can help further, let me know off-list. We're probably way OT. HTH, Steve http://www.fivetrees.com
