I think we're on the same page, we just don't know it.  I just meant to
clarify that to use the SMOS card you need the SMOS credit card sized CPU
_and_ (in the case of the Hackman) an intelec pc/104 carrier board, and 
of course your flash drive, if that's what you are using.

sure.

yes, I think the credit card sized cpu was a bit too expensive, and don't
get me wrong, I really like it, but I could have saved a few hundred
dollars by getting a regular pc/104 card with the cpu soldered onto the board.
Actually, after I've thought about it some more I don't really regret
buying the SMOS card and carrier, I just wish they were cheaper. :)
