PC104/Linux platform questions

Hi all out there,



I want to start experimenting with the PC140 platform but I need some info first: The disk on chip system:         - Can I use it as a regular disk, meaning like on a "normal" PC,            startup with a cdrom, format it an write data to it? And this without           extra HW (Like a FLASH-Programmer)?         - Can I use my own (...ok the binaries/sources I get from the net)            Linux(When it is small enough) In Linux:         - Is it enough to mount the filesystem read-only w/o having problems           when I power-off the system w/o a proper shut down?



        - Any Idea about prices?                 - Just a starters kit                         - But needs a possibility to connect a                            monitor/keyboard/mouse                           And maybe a PCI-device.

Thank you for reading this article.

if it's got a network port you can go completely diskless. as for price, you can get some rather cheap, some so expensive that you'd curse, all with similar capabilities. try

for some basic info, and look at their articles to find some manufacturers. me, i'd go to versalogic for high feature stuff, tern for bare basics.
