Re: [PLUG] no moving parts
|
A year ago, or longer, a slashdot article detailed a new Linux device
which essentially amounted to a small chipboard with an ethernet port
on it. The thing was in an enclosure which couldnt have been more
than 2" long and 1" high. IIRC, it supported power-over-Ethernet.
There was also a wireless model (equipped with DC adapter, since
power-over-WiFi wasn't around back then). However, sometime after
reading that article, I misplaced the link.
Does that device ring a bell to anyone?
