Mar 18 08:30:06 morning everyone Mar 18 08:30:44 hey eFfeM Mar 18 08:30:58 hi koen, how are things over there Mar 18 08:31:22 pretty good Mar 18 08:31:40 kepp things rolling! finally got time for the slug again Mar 18 08:32:28 need to prepare a few things for april 1 Mar 18 08:32:53 ~seen marceln Mar 18 08:32:56 marceln was last seen on IRC in channel #nslu2-linux, 7d 9h 6m 19s ago, saying: 'I leave as well. Bye everyone'. Mar 18 08:33:46 that intel SS4000-E looks pretty cute Mar 18 08:37:06 haven't seen it Mar 18 08:39:22 http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3184179979.html Mar 18 08:40:15 * koen wonders if minipci (e)sata adapters exist Mar 18 08:40:39 i'm unaware of minipci sata Mar 18 08:40:49 discovered this the other day: http://www.pertelian.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=48 Mar 18 08:41:17 $ 70 + shipping + tax though Mar 18 08:41:21 and no buttons Mar 18 08:43:29 actually I would like to be able to lay my hands on a system with sigma 8634: http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/SMP8630series.htm Mar 18 08:43:34 isn't is much cheaper to buy a usb->parallel adapter and build your own? Mar 18 08:43:45 but even dev boards are hard to get Mar 18 08:45:02 the 8634 even has ethernet support Mar 18 08:46:01 yup, i have an 8620 system but that specific board does neither have ide or usb connections (although I might get one or two reworked to add usb) Mar 18 08:46:19 of course that system also has ethernet Mar 18 08:46:43 8620L? Mar 18 08:47:16 yes, ethernet might be external haven't looked at the schematics or opened the box recently.

Mar 18 08:52:36 hmm. it is a little bit more Mar 18 08:52:56 also provides direct access to internet audio services Mar 18 08:53:14 and communication is UPnP Mar 18 08:53:18 but you need another computer to control it, right? Mar 18 08:53:29 display up to 720p/1080i Mar 18 08:53:42 no the other computer is only needed to serve the content (or from the internet) Mar 18 08:53:58 * koen wonders why no-one does 1080p Mar 18 08:54:08 control is via remote control, UI is rendered on the tv display Mar 18 08:54:20 now that is some cool stuff Mar 18 08:54:21 so you select your movies or whatever from te tv Mar 18 08:55:06 * koen should visit philips again sometime Mar 18 08:55:06 koen 1080p means twice as much pixels (assuming in hor you also increase the resolution accordingly) Mar 18 08:55:28 for most chips the needed cpu cycles to process that is too much Mar 18 08:55:48 and it needs more bandwidth Mar 18 08:57:00 iirc I can't even play 720p on my powerbook Mar 18 08:57:13 but comparing asics to gp cpus is a bit unfair Mar 18 08:57:40 yup Mar 18 08:58:21 new tv's are becoming hd prepared and that is normally 720p. 1080p displays are also very rare and expensive Mar 18 08:59:00 I wonder if the new hardisk recorder my parent bought is HD capable Mar 18 08:59:07 (also a philips) Mar 18 08:59:46 its not Mar 18 09:00:08 i don't think there are HD hd recorders :-) Mar 18 09:00:15 not that my parents would notice ;) Mar 18 09:00:58 I have one (not the latest model). That one is 576i or maybe 576p, but the newer models use the same chips as far as I know) Mar 18 09:04:33 gotta go, back later **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 18 10:59:56 2006
