Well, maybe a bit dangerous but running a Windows Platform on a
"headless" - non-graphic - Board is not a good idea.
Maybe this one here is a better solution for a Win98 system (even if I
don't like this os ;-)

I'm not really interested in joining the debate (other than I think
virtualization is probably the wrong direction), but had to respond to
this comment. Absolutely untrue - for a

I don't think any Soekris board has the required CPU.

This application is better suited (legacy windows software) to a

if you were working on a wholesale replacement for this particular
application a modern embedded system might be more appropiate
and no I wouldn't run vmware on a soekris. That's headed the wrong

Is that really true? I think I'd start by trying to find out more
about this system and their needs. It could be that a Soekris box is
way overkill, or it could be that they (and their insurance company)
would be happier wit

Hi,
Over the last few months I've talked to a local
PC tech about the Soekris line. Well, he just went and pitched

I've never seen anything
