hey all,
i dunno how much money or time you want to put into it, but with
off the shelf components (pc104 mb, camcorder battaries, palm, etc) you
could have a small computer which would fit in a shoulder bag, run linux,
and you could slap in something like an 40 gig drive if you really felt
the need. battery life would be much better than a laptop (upwards of 5
hours depending on how many batteries you want to carry). the whole thing
could be control-able via serial with a palm or whatever. (the thing that
makes this better than a labtop in my opinion is the form factor).
i dunno what audio IO solutions are out there for pc104, but i'm
sure something could be found (at worse resorting to USB solutions easily
available).
regards,
rob
