Hi,

I have 100 of the pc104 i386 pc104 sbc's. You have probably seen them
on here before. I was asking way to much. Please feel free to make an
offer. I am looking to sell all in one shot. I now have documentation
and drivers.

thanks,
Bob

All for 60$ ?

No $60 for each sbc - i/o board combo.

To be honest, I think $60 is still pretty high considering this is 10
year old technology.  But I will wait for your specs before making a
decision.  The power on the CPU card seems to be fairly low.  This may
be an advantage over more modern cards that run faster and do more but
draw a lot more current.

Keep in mind that I can buy a new board that is faster and has a lot
more functionality for just over $100.  It also comes with a 1 year
warranty.

My email seems to be down *again*.  So you will need to reply to my
Yahoo account redsp at etc.

I am in the market for web hosting again.  Anyone know of a good, cheap
provider for a high bandwidth site?  I host www.gnuarm.com and it uses
200 to 300 GB a month currently and may go up from there.  My current
account has 3 GB storage and 15 domain names with "unlimited"
bandwidth. Please don't bother telling me that bandwidth is never
"unlimited" as I am aware of that.

I cautiously endorse the provider I'm using right now -
vervehosting.com. I've tried several "budget" providers, and they all
had serious reliability issues - 40% uptime in one case. Verve seems to
strike a pretty good balance between availability/bandwidth/price. The
main gripe I have with them is that my email addresss oscillate in and
out of the spamcop blacklist.

(There are a few companies - Xilinx and Freescale appear to be on this
list - that I simply can't email from my normal addresses, which is why
I use my gmail account. I'm not sure if it's content in my signature or
other filtering, but anyway, there's some really aggressive
spam-filtering going on).

Thanks for the recomendation.  I don't think they will do.  The highest
plan they list is only 20 GB a month and that is only 10% of what this
site currently uses.

I have spent some time today looking and I found one provider that
started up about three years ago with free accounts, 1and1.com.  A
friend of mine has a site with them and says it works ok.  Their prices
are very reasonable and although the transfer limit is not super high,
it is enough for now.

I used to use Google ads to help pay for the traffic, but I was
clicking the ads to see who the advertiser were and am now banned for
life!  Google has a good idea, but it has some flaws.  For a site host
it is hard to know how to get the right ads to match the site.  Google
says they will take care of it, but until I started optimizing my site,
I got more ads for ARM mortgages than I did for anything technical.

As long as I keep the hosting inexpensive, I don't mind paying the
fees.  But if I have to start paying a lot extra for bandwidth, I will
let Pablo support the full burden at his site.

I use bluehost. They are inexpensive and you get what you see. Decent
customer support for around $6-7 / month and few 100s MB of traffic. Can
host up to 6 sites on one account. I am happy with the site response and
account-to-account security.

Had Startlogic before and it seemed to me that their customer support
was a bot or very uninformed person. I wrote a file browser PHP script
and was able to get to other accounts on the same machine and read
passwords to their databases. They seem like a good deal, but *stay away*.

Of course that had to be few 100s of GB of traffic, currently 750G.
Since I started with them half a year ago, they tripled storage and
doubled bandwidth.

One thing they will not tell you - limit 50 outbound emails per hour.
They can increase upon request, you only have to provide them with the
legitimate need for more outgoing emails.

Hey, I was paying close attention where you said "don't tell me there
is no such thing as unlimited... :)". Verve will deliver all the
bandwidth you want... they'll just charge you for it. My websites
combined are about 170GB on a bad month.

I experimented with a few sites that didn't charge anything for
transfers, but it was a case of whack-a-mole with uptime, stuff moving
around, nonexistent support...

I have a colleague two streets away with a few static IPs to spare, who
has offered me the chance to have a colocated box in his server farm -
I keep meaning to take him up on it, but I simply don't have time to
set the box up.

It's my policy not to carry third-party advertising. I participate in a
few affiliate programs and where appropriate, I provide links to
purchase specific items I'm talking about through those programs.
