I've been working on updating my current wearable. Just thought I'd send it here along with the systems Omar sent. /===============================\ | Specs for Diesel, MarkII v2.0 | \===============================/ This is a real power system. With a 266MHz Pentium processor, it's as powerful as the most advanced laptops on the market. The first part of the specs parallel Omar's as far as what's listed, in order to give a price comparison. The second half adds other peripherals that he either ommited or isn't using. This is a full system to rival any desktop. It runs at 266MHz and has 64MB of RAM. It supports VGA and 16bit audio i/o. There is a PCMCIA module which holds two type II cards or one type III card. A 3.2GB hard drive is enough, even if you're running Windows95. With two Lithium-ion batteries (in parallel?), this system is long-lived between charges. Unfortunately, there is no affordable display that interfaces with a CRT port yet, so the P5 seems to be the most viable option with a serial interface. As far as I know, the JUMPtec CPU is vaporwear, but I'm hoping it's not. My current processor is the Ampro CoreModulei486/133 with 16MB RAM (Diesel, MarkII v1.0) which works well. The final dimensions should be 5.5"x5.5"x2.75", but could possibly be made smaller if a custom case is built.

This is definitely a high-end system IMO. Any comments/criticisms of it? Sorry I don't have all the prices listed, but I couldn't find all of my receipts offhand. -- Gregory Martin Pfeil Programmer-Misogynist-BUFH-MIRC mailto:http://falcon.jmu.edu/~pfeilgm/ ICQ#: 235067
