Hi All, I'd just like to add why I'm interested in the gumstix and what has to be there for me to buy any. I'm interested in making a cluster of these for an application platform/middleware system I'm making. Therefore the big need for me is ethernet, 10/100 is great, wi/fi even better but it's essential that I have a general puprose networking solution. I've not seen a way to currently make this happen that keeps the small form factor in any way. I've followed links from Gordon and I can't make head or tail of what he's planning to do with the available connectors. In terms of volume I wouldn't order more than 50, and only 20 or so at first. I won't order any without decent IP access out of the box. Really excited about the prospects, Chris Twiner _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo |

Chris, I have had **countless** enquiries related to doing clusters of gumstix, = and as a result we're investing significant time on the issue of connectivity in an array of = n-gumstix boards. We have a candidate solution that will provide 6-tuples; the approach is tested = and we are turning to product engineering. Sorry, I don't have a release date yet. The core question I keep hearing is "how many gumstix can fit in 1U?" = Is this your geometry as well? And yes, there is IP access.
