[NBLUG/talk] [NBLUG/Announce] General Meeting TOMORROW: Advantech FWA-660 Network Appliance

[Scrappy Laptop]

Wow, now that's a feature-packed sbc inside the FWA-660.  If I've identified the board correctly, the cpu can be upgraded up to a PIII at 1.2Ghz (although I assume cooling would need modification).  All those GPIO's are fun, too...this ought to be a interesting presentation!

These are the links I found regarding the FWA-660 and the PCM-9578 inside (if I'm not mistaken, that is).
