Hi Gerald - I run linux/rtlinux on several payloads that fly on the Space Shuttle and are manifested for the International Space Station. There should be no special considerations as PC-104 is just a form factor standard - it is just a small PC suitable for embedded applications. > Willing to suggest products? brands?? I've had very good fortune with Ampro (www.ampro.com) CPU's, ethernet modules and VGA controllers. For Analog and Digital I/O cards Diamond Systems (www.diamondsys.com) are very good; check the Diamond-MM-16, the ONYX-MM-16 and the Diamond-MM-32 I/O cards. For framegrabbers I like the Ajeco ANDI-FG (www.ajeco.com). By the way, I have an article due to appear in the September issue of Linux Journal that overviews these payloads and associated applications that may be of interest to you. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions. Kevin ___________________________________________________________ + Dr. Kevin K.
