"Taiwanese integrator E-Way Technology Systems is shipping a tiny,
200MHz x86-compatible mini PC for $99, in single quantities. The TU-40 is
passively cooled, comes with 128MB of RAM, and can run lightweight versions
of Linux, such as Puppy, the company says. "

"The TU-40 is based on an unspecified 200MHz processor said to be
x86-compatible -- possibly an SiS550. It comes standard with 128MB of RAM,
of which up to 8MB can be shared by the integrated graphics
processor."

"Like the MicroClient Jr., the TU-40 is housed in a tiny, square case
4.5 inches (11.5cm) to a side, and 1.4 inches (3.5cm) high. It weighs
1lbs., 2 ounces (500grams), draws up to 3 amps of 5-volt power, and comes
with an AC adapter. The TU-40 system is CE and FCC certified, and complies
with RoHS requirements, according to E-Way. "

& what made think was:

"draws up to 3 amps of 5-volt power"

Ain't that ....USB voltage etc?

ie. you could power this puppy via a powered USB hub.....or sling it off a
main server...
