True but I was thinking more along the lines of TCP I/P etc. (already possible with uCLinux) There is a device cold the uCDimm that's a standard SIM style (30 pin) card that has a full ColdFire processor, ethernet, LCD VGA card, USB etc. and runs uCLinux. If we could i/f it with the standard QL it would be really fun :-) >Usually Linux applications in C/C++ are portable between different Linux >platforms (like x86, PowerPC, 68k) by recompiling them. > >For uClinux, applications must re-written.

Well the main things are there... even an mp3 player (which would be nice for SGC QL owners)... Of course we could design a recepticle for the uCDimm and i/f it to an Aurora or standard QL... Now here's an idea :-) Phoebus
