Indeed, why not ? Has anybody pulled an old PC out of the closet and "recycled" it to play with by putting RTEMS or MaRTE on to it ? The idea is to use the PC as a "controller" for hardware experiments/tinkering ... build a circuit, hang it from the parallel port and hope that nothing blows up for example ... If so, experiences ? -- My links to the Ada Train project have disappeared (http://www2.dynamite.com.au/aebrain/ADACASE.HTM) and the other one (http://www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/2000/aug/mccormick.asp) suggests that I would need a VAX hiding in the garage before I went begging for software detail. -- ------------------------------------- -- Merge vertically for real address ------------------------------------- s n p @ t . o k i e k c c m -------------------------------------
