 I think we've been having such great fun dreaming.  I wonder if it
 is possible to summerize what we have and vote on a design.  It 
 would be fun (even if nothing is really built) to go all the way and
 develope PC board artwork in the hopes that CPU prices and a OS can be
 found.  Can we get serious?


  (from memory)

     o   IBM PC/AT  system board replacement, uses present PC cheap 
         and availble parts for enclosure , HD and graphics contrlr etc.


     o   Classic SBC design with SCSI on board memory. Uses a terminal.

     o   Above with AT type (EGA?) graphics controller chip set.

     o   design a SBC but have slots for expansion.

Software:

     o   REAL UN*X (BSD, SYS V) 

     o   MINIX                      (yecchhh, sorry :) )

     o   MACH

     o   Other PD OS                (check out os.research)



    Send me  a EMAIL message to vote for your favorite design
    and I'll summarize for the net.  


    I have a friend who is a dedicated hacker and owns a business
    with the ablility to make PCB's from schematics.  I would be 
    willing to help translate a schematic to artwork if others are
    will to help design it.  Any takers?
