Hi David... Thanks for the info. I suppose my concern about Soekris can be summarized as 'device support'. I understand that the target market is communication and routing appliances -- whereas I'm looking for an embedded platform capable of communications via SCSI first and foremost, and Et

While I can appreciate that Soekris systems can work with T1's and DSL lines, their function in that case is still limited to routing packets and providing rudimentary services. I'd like to hear from others who might be using SCSI cards, sound, video, etc, with their Soekris systems. I'm curio

Guess I'm using the card for some pretty weird stuff. I have Net4801's that I use for some remote telemetry systems and Automatic Vehicle Location and WiFi tracking systems. For the Vehicle tracking systems, each device has a Axiom GPS connected to the internal serial port, as well as Atherons WiF

Excellent. Thanks for clearing the bit about the 5v conectivity up. I'm still very curious about the rest of the specs for using PCI cards. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone using a non-network (lan1641, etc.) PCI card with any of the Soekris line to extend its functionality beyond netw

It would be for people that want to connect a regulated 5V feed directly to the board (to power the Soekris). My guess is for particular applications / appliances where you already have a PSU that is powering other devices in a small chassis. Make sense? > Is anyone else using a Soekris board wi

Hi. I'm interested in connecting a SCSI card to a Soekris 4801 or one of the new 5501's to manage a tape library. It would replace the large, heavy, and hot server that currently manages it. The question is: Is anyone else using a Soekris board with a SCSI card? What sizes of SCSI card will f
