the closest I can come to that would be a CF card in a CF-IDE adaptor.



Thanks for the assembly pictures -- what kind of case is this?


'fraid I can't say, I bought it long ago and it was used as a multimedia 
computer for a while*. the only problem I have is that the PSU is long 
and thin, a bit like a zero-U PSU and not a cube like hte one that the 
case used before (about half the volume like a shrunken normal PC PSU).


I didn't use the original PSU as it's quite old, not very efficient, and 
somewhat noisy* (hence stopped using as a media PC).

That triple-GBit Intel Ethernet daughterboard is purportedly compatible 
with J7F2, J7F3, JNC92, J7F5 and JNF76. Anyone knows whether of
these use the Esther core? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C7
I'm thinking about getting the fastest passively cooled (Eden)
Esther core Jetway, so to make use of the hardware-accelerated
crypto and not have to deal with fan failures.

It is surprisingly hard to figure out which board has which core,
I already bought a wrong one (hardware RNG but no AES) once.

I typically use 2-4 GByte Transcend IDE SSD (DoM) dongles.
