Having used one of the C3 -800Mz boards in a slim-line case as a print
server (see my previous post), I was mostly impressed with the concept
of such a small board and a compact slim-line case.
But, having tried out one of these "Mini's", I think my next one will be
a Flex or Micro-ATX system, fo

Just a comment here,...I'm using the 800Mhz board in a slimline case as

Loaded that sucker up with RAM (PC133 ram is sooo cheap now), and I'm
very happy with the results. It's handling 3 HP4050TN printers with

In some cases, BIOS might report a particular drive (on older BIOS's)
