[Wear-Hard] Linux on Xybernaut MAV

[tetsu yatsu]

There are three harddrive sizes I know of smaller than your usual
desktop hard drive. The 2.5" 'laptop harddrive', 1.8" 'whats this for?'
hard drive, and a 0.85" hard drive. The smaller drives use Perpendicular
Magnetic Recording. I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to wire the
drive to a regular IDE controller, but that's a lot of miniscule work
for my non-surgeon hands.

I got a PS/2 -> USB converter, and the BIOS supports USB HID so I was
able to get into the BIOS and allow booting from from Compact Flash
drive, so I have a plan of attack : ). I've got myself one of the Kopin
300M displays and am looking for a scan converter. I have no plan for a
chording keyboard yet, though desperately want one.

I've never actually been so close to wearable before!
