That's unbelieveable...and it only needs 5V to run.

**Bugbyte** · 10-14-2005, 06:35 PM

Price?

**Moneyfink** · 10-14-2005, 07:00 PM

me thinks that the bios takes only 5 seconds... the whole boot sequence will take longer depending on the OS and hardware

Cris, a lot of industrial sized PCs only need 5V to run. I was suprised to find my P3 sbc was ATX input as i was expecting 5V inputl

No idea on price yet. I think they only announced it yesterday.

Here's a tiny bit more.

For me, I find the tiny size and the fact that it runs linux (and so has linux supported hardware) pluses.
