PC/104 or mini-atx would be a suitable target. There is a intel based environment somewhere (I don't remember the name). In a nuclear environment it would perhaps be more suitable with a radiation hardened target or at least a system with more extensive ecc checking than usual. E.g. ecc ram on internal CPU buses and registers. A VIA epia board would be a cheap and cheerful teaching environment for students. It has all the stuff which should interest students; 5.1 sound, ethernet, firewire, USB and a hardware mpeg2 decoder. Since it is cheap it would be possible to require each student to buy one so they can work at home. greetings,
