confirmed working here, too chris.  tried the other card that i've got
- worked absolutely fine.  so that would a) confirm that the MEB (with
R2 gone and 1-wired-to-11) ethernet works b) confirm that the 1st CPU
Card sample i've got has something wrong with it.

Also on order are 50 pieces of the VGA connectors and 100 pieces
of PCMCIA connectors for stock piling and quick turn around of prototype
projects.

good idea.

i'm wondering where else this could be advertised - there's a couple
of other projects where people have made up something similar by hand.

Here is a project to add:

"SSD security camera recorder with PIR sensors"

I made a little bit of software that runs on a PC. The PC has one ftp
account per camera. The camera Foscam FI8918W can upload 1 photo a
second. Every hour the upload sub directory is renamed and every day the
upload sub directory is renamed. So if you want to go to a specific date
and a specific hour, its easy to navigate the directory and get to the
relevant time. Delete older directories and they expire to recycle
space. Use the package "feh" to view the images.
One camera takes up a few gigabytes per day. Today low power low spec
256GB SSD cost just over $100 and its set to fall dramatically.

So I'm thinking a very low power compact SSD camera recorder with PIR
sensors could be feasible product.
It could have complete Linux in it to allow decent scripted management
of the gazillions of images, say for example making sure the saved
pictures are only those just before and just after the PIR sensors
stopped reacting. If it needs to be wireless, then just add a wireless
dongle to the USB. The full Linux distro running on it should take care
of it.

The box takes EOMA, SDCard, SSD and within the box, there is something a
little more than MEB with power supply, ethernet, USB, SATA and GPIO
brought out for PIR and similar sensors. Just add your own SSD, and its
a product.

If you got dozens of these in a building, management is easy - just add
more scripts to shuffle images towards the management terminals.
Everything made easy with Linux full power of scripting.
You could take the PIR data for example and plot it into a graph and put
http server into the EOMA to show how busy your shop gets. And it could
work over internet with ssh.

I got a few cute foxes in the garden. I'd like to know if they dragged
in rubbish that needs disposing. With PIR detector, I'd know they have
been in, and I can get me with a script one intelligent email summary
containing the PIR activities during night and one or two relevant
pictures without having to scan directories. etc.
