tiny PCs? (fwd)

[Tim Schmidt]

Check for PC/104 format computers...  The boards are about 3.5" x 3.5" 
square.  In particular, the MachZ chip is an entire 486 compatible computer 
(minus video/networking) on a single PC/104 board.  PC/104 uses ISA as the 
standard bus, but you can find PC/104+ boards that use ISA and PCI.  The 
MachZ runs at 33 - 133Mhz (your choice, every model is capable of all 
speeds) and is compatible with all x86 OSs.  I've run Win95 + Debian 2.2 on 
mine just fine.
