Re: Alternativ WebServer
for the fun of it. i would recommend finding an old Compaq Ipaq3600
and installing one of the many linuxes on it!
i have run linux on these with no problems. they are easily flashable
pcmcia sleve with ne2000 card makes it easy!
i have also got my hands on a nifty little phantom server based on the ubicom chipset!
my latest project is a wlan router (RG1000) although x86 based (486-33), it is still a chalange. it has pcmcia socket(for wireless card) but could be used for anything. eg USB card and harddrive or whatever..
there is firmware out there with etherboot build in, which can be modifyed to boot from CF card or simular, maby even usb stik placed in pcmcia usb card?
have a friend i havent herd from in a while who tryied to www server enable an HP printerserver. (has www and ethernet as standard) just needed changing.. sounds easy right
)
i also belive linksys has a few linux'able routers
if you want to build the server hardware yourselve, there is an almost infinite number of projects out there, based on PIC, ATMEL, TI, DS and other micros!
hope this helped, or atleast confuses you
good luck
