I haven't had any luck getting email responses from mini-box.com
to queries about their hardware. Maybe the people on the list
who have used them would know:
1) A Jetway HYBRID-C7-1.5G mini-itx form factor board with
a 1.5GHz via C7 processor using a via CN700 chipset.
Any information as to whether it will boot a disk with a typical pc BIOS layout:
o grub stage 1 in the disk's partition table
o kernel image compiled for via C7, but expecting cpu to be setup like
typical pc during boot (memory/device mappings etc)
From the net, it appears the board can boot netbsd.
2) The downloadable M300 case docs say it can handle 2x3.5" drives. The website
only mentions 2.5" drives. Any information as to whether 2 x 3.5" sata disks
would work in this type of setup would be appreciated:
jetway MB + 1GB RAM
