Hello, > Cool, smart move. ;-) It will work good. I actually saw a board on the > internet recently (strongarm processor I believe) that actually had a UDMA > IDE controller on board and an actual reserved area on the circuit board for > attaching a hard drive. Of course, it's way expensive, but ideal for an mp3 > player. while we're on the MOBOs and CPUs subject, someone here knows prices and stuff about the ZFLinux CPUs series? It seens to be very good, but have someone used it actually? How much each processor costs? How hard it's to actually put it on a PCB?
