In the cobalt days we had a parallel port connected panel with an LCD (2 lines x 16 characters) 6 buttons (up, down, left, right, select, enter) and LEDs (Disk, network activity, network link, 100 MB status, and web activity [required a hacked apache, but it was cute]).
Our RaQXTR boxes had even more - and they were all software programmable. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
