Re: [Thinstation-general] Alternatives to busybox tftp client

[Jason M. <Jas...@mv...>]

I use disk-on-chip modules in some of my lower power boxes (mini-itx).

They use hardly any power (approx 800 times less than a HDD), and go to s=
leep after a few minutes (Ideal for TS).

They fit straight into the IDE socket and don=92t require the ribbon cabl=
e.

In my testing the amount of power drawn by these modules was so small tha=
t it didn't register on the power meter I used.

Disk-On-Modules - a sort of solid state disk that you plug directly
into the IDE socket. Have a look here:

Neat, 30-45 USD for 32-128 MB units, but maybe not that easy to dig
up. I never saw these in a normal computer shop. I got mine from a
supplyer of industrial equipment.
