Thanks for the update. I've ended up going down a somewhat different path, for now at least. I've gotten this board http://www.olimex.com/dev/l= pc-e2294rb.html because it has just about the right mix of horsepower and features for some ideas I have. I know this board isn't big enough to run Linux or FreeBSD, so I am going to look at Ada on RTEMS instead. But again, thanks for the followup, and I am going to look up the UNC90 as well. Mike
