i will probably be putting in an order in the near future for the new beaglebone black (henceforth, BBB): http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoneBlack and i can add more units to the order if others are interested. i will most likely order from specialcomp.com, here's the BBB page: https://specialcomp.com/beaglebone/ if you wanted to seriously hack, i think i'd recommend the collection of following parts: * BBB rev A5A (comes with USB mini-B cable) * acrylic case * microHDMI to HDMI cable (unless you already have one) * USB mini-B serial UART (for console access) that last item would be in lieu of an FTDI-to-TTL cable: https://www.adafruit.com/products/70 you need to connect to the console on the BBB since, for space reasons, the earlier serial port was removed. in any event, people can check out the possibilities and, if interested, i can bundle everything into a single order. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
