I need a smiley with a thinking cap.

I've got it to boot now, but the ethernet isn't working and the USB seems a bit unhappy. Now building the full set of modules instead of just the TC base set.

I'll post in more detail once I've got it stable.

Thanks for the tip. I was interested in the 3300A-L2 since it has a dual-nic option. Do you know if the micro-SD works?

You likely need to recompile libraries too.
Please take my advise and return it.
A 366MHz 486SX is going to be dog slow.

I guess it comes down to what your time is worth. An ebox-2300 is only $20 US more than then eBox-2300SX, and it works. You can recompile glibc, but extensions will have FPU instructions, and the FPU emulation may be broken.

Or send it to me. :) I love to tinker. I hope you get it working, though. You are not alone.
