Re: TI-H: New cases


If you can wait about two weeks, I can draw up the board for the
keyboard/EII/IR/parallel/and serial all in one chip!  Just give me the time
and we can turn this into a very good partnership!  Imagine the envy from
the HPies!  We will have a see through case/touch screen/parallel
printing/serial interface/keyboard/EII/IR all in the same case!  I will
make the boards using surface mount and get a prefab company to build them.
They will cost about $20 with all parts, and your case will most likely
cost $20.  How many people would buy this for $60 - 70:

Keyboard (AT)
EII (512k)
IR
Parallel (printing)
serial (everything)
touch screen? (maybe?)
digital clock/calendar/date thingy

I can already imagine the HP people...  :)  They will have 286 compared to
our SuperSGIs...  :D  (Silicon Graphics makes some of the best computers in
the world, for about... $50,000 of course you can get a cray 0/0[bare no
mem/hd/processors] for $500,000.  Thats the air cooled one)

This should be fun!
