I realize that what I'm asking for is hardly cheap, but I'd like
to piggyback some real computing power with the handy board. Can
anyone suggest components for:
- a small low-power pentium/powerPC with min 32MB RAM
and a pair of serial communications ports
- preferably it would share a battery with the handyboard
- everything else is optional
The small and low-power are important. Ideally I would like to find a
board not much bigger than the handy board. Thanks for any pointers
you can give me.
Allen
