MAME box</a>, or low-power workstation. To add to the fun it has a real
parallel port 'perfect for hardware hacking,' a real RS-232 port 'perfect
for data acquisition,' and two USB ports. The price is around $100 give

system to run Linux, WindowsXP, BSD, or maybe even OpenSolaris
on."</i> <br><br>
The motherboard supports an Intel GMA 950 graphics chip and a 1.6Ghz
processor. This might make a great FE you can wade through the driver
