Send 'em to me.  I'll use them ;-)  I'll even pay for shipping!

I can modify Downfits (probably Windows, defiantly Linux) to read what is
presented, if you can figure out how the data is being presented.

Check out http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=SYS#Pentium%20III.  Just
1 hour ago I bought 2 of the IBM300PL-63B ($101.00), one for a sprinkler
controller (32 relay ISA card) and one as a backup between that and ROB's
controller.  I'm using a similar one for ROB's controller right now (Linux).
Works just fine.

Cheers,
Rob

Subject: A Problem


Anticipating that ISA computers would be hard to get in the future, I laid
in a supply.  3 nice 1 GHz Shuttle computers.  Just right for running
cameras, I thought.

I have discovered that these computers will not read my memory board.  I
don't know what the problem is, but it looks like it either reads the bytes
one byte off or possibly reversed from what other PCs do.

Is there anything to adjust in the BIOS that might change how bytes are read
from the ISA bus?  Is it possible that the Shuttle was just never tested
reading data from the ISA bus?  It might also be a timing problem. 
Are there any BIOS adjustments that change the speed of I/O read/writes?  

Sigh!

I hate the throw three perfectly good computers into the trash.  But I
really don't have much use for these for anything but reading cameras.
