Wrap it up in reasonable sheet metal, with that expenso 12V adapter supply, and add in the other junk, and ca. $400 is about what you'll pay from anyone. It's on the low end. Check out those oh-so-fancy british boxes with no fan and brushed metal -- $1200. ron ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Check > out those oh-so-fancy british boxes with no fan and brushed metal -- > $1200. i decided to spend some money and build a system consisting of a couple of small machines and try some grid stuff. given that my budget is not too high (about $500 at best), i was thinking of linksys (wrt54g) or ituner box. though i like wrt54g, i am hesitating because a) i am not sure how easy it is to put inferno in it b) i am not sure if i can turn off the wifi part c) i cant do plan9 grid. now, i am leaning towards ituner stuff because, hopefully, i can try both plan9 grid and inferno grid. the board i prefer should be CPU/>=64MB/ethernet/VGA(?). i am thinking of 2+boards. how much would it cost with and without the box? and how easy or how tough is it to get the first kernel loaded? i think once i build and load the kernel, i can proceed from there. if someone can help me, please let me know. once i know the parts, i can order them. i like the ones i see in 9grid page and i will be happy if i can do a similar setup to play with. btw, wouldnt it be nice if 9fans (of similar interest) stick one model like ituner box? that way, we could have better device support eventually. any help appreciated. thanks dharani ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

If you want to be compact you get those 12V PSes. They will cost you $129. Or get cheap PC power supplies for $20 each. But then it is a space hog. There are no good choices. You can save lotsa money but then you don't get something small. I have found small boxes for (believe it or not!) $12 with PS included that you could put the EPIA in. but they are ... ugly and big. > and how easy or how tough is it to get the first kernel loaded? i think > once i build and load the kernel, i can proceed from there. if someone can > help me, please let me know. once i know the parts, i can order them.

We'd still like to sell plan 9 boxes that just come up and work. It's meeting everyone's needs that is tough. ron ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Not quite - there's an extra layer of protocol above the scsi commands. Actually two alternative layers: bulk-only or command-bulk-interrupt. I've written a driver which supports (so far) only the first -- I'll take the liberty of emailing you a copy to try. -- Richard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread
