Re: SD: RE: New operating system...
yes, as a matter of fact, Grant Stockly is working oon jsut such a box :)
of course, he later modified his version to be an adapted EII, and I dont
think he is really working on it to hard. But, it would be simple enough to
do, just have any old AVR or microcontroller send things in TI-protocol down
a simple serial ti compatible serial channel. have it do that when you
press a button, and you could go into your link menu, recv, and then hit the
button, the avr would transmit the backup stored on a rom chip (or in the
avr's rom, bakcups arent usually that big unless they are jammed full of
games). So, realisitically, you could buitld one of these as a single chip,
a simple power supply, and you are done.
