I poked around a bit more on the web to see if there are better battery
solutions. This seems to be the most powerful/fast charging.

I ordered 3 of these and some passthrough usb 2.0 connectors for good measure.

Okay looking at some reviews that drive has been measured to pull 3 watts
at peak power. That is .6 amps which should be able to be powered by a
single USB port, unless we go the battery route and then the 1 amp port on
either of those battery options is more than sufficient.

In Haiti, both situations will arise. 115V AC will be dominant initially,
but George can decide if a transition to 12V is possible at
According the their website it is 1.5A max

for a full recharge, without draw on it. Again this isn't a tradition UPS,

My first ques
this is a nice idea. the input says 5V 1A max and we want to supply 5V 2A for
7.5 hours. does this mean we need another 15 hrs for charging? how do we
supply the 5V input, from AC or 12V.
of course it would be nice if we could sense the charge level in the charger
device and shutdown when it
Those and some sheet metal screws or pop rivets look about perfect to me.

A quick look on NewEgg and this looks just about perfect.

for the drive.
Or for super large

All we need is 5volt DC in, preferably 2amps minimum. If the drives aren't
too power hungry then they should be able to be powered by the eSATAp
connector, although I haven't tested that. I will actually ask Rabeeh if
he has tested it. I know he has tested eSATA just don't know if it was

My first question is are we trying to run off AC or 12V DC. If the latter, do
we need a 12V connector and wires to split for the cubox and the drive?
I was also assuming we would use a conventional 2.5” sata drive with a sata to
esata connector cable.

As for the connectors, I don't think an esata connector is either less or
more vulnerable than a cat5 connector, which we will have two of, one via
usb, or any other connector. Yes they are possible failure points, but as
long as we make sure the esata cables have the locking connectors things

My experience tells me that connectors are the weak link in most systems.
So I'm not excited about a connector that is part of the essential data
path, exiting the enclosure and exposed to being bumped/damaged.
Jon, I'd really like to start working on your kernel, and getting it to

I figured we just put the cubox at the back of the case for now and loop
the esata cable back around into the box to hook up the drive. Is there
any reason to even worry about making the hdmi cable available? In the
back of my head I do have a dream where the XSCE could sit attached to a
monitor/
What's the best strategy long term? The cubox has all its connectors on one
face. Most of these need to be available to the outside. We can open the
cubox and solder a esata connector that comes out the back. Picture is at

Well from taking some basic measurements I was thinking we could pack a
