Hi, it's me again... I've been silent for a while but I am making noises again
about starting my own company. Here is the hardware side of the plan:

My first product will be a very MISCy PC based on a MIPS architecture
processor. 

Basic features: 

200 mhz 64 Bit MIPS CPU, 64 bit path to memory on the external 100mhz bus..
2 USB ports
2 IDE ports
1 64 BIT PCI 2.2 BUS
Custom OS
Clock/timers... normal stuff...

I will need a custom board and a custom chipset.

Also I will need a 64 bit PCI 3D video/sound card, a 64-32 bit expansion
bus... and a 1000/100 mbit ethernet card. (both optional)

I hope to sell the motherboard/case/ram/superdisk floppy drive for no more
than $200.

The total package with video, keyboard, modem, HD should top out at no more
than $500. 

Things *not* on board: 
Keyboard/mouse. (both use USB)
Floppy drive controller.

Anyway... I need an upgrade path for my P100 here. =*( All of todays PCs are
soo propriatary and kludgy. I got a new video card but I can't use hardware
video acceleration under windows 3.11 ...

If you want to know more about the software system I have in mind zap me, I am
not talking more about that here because this is mostly a hardware list. (one
of the best on the net I might add! =)

Are you sure there are only five basic questions?
(who, what, where, when, and how)
