a VIA mainboard and MIDI for the controls..
Here's some documentation of a project I did with this:

One obstacle I've had is boot time! It's annoying to have
to wait 30 seconds for the thing to boot, and if the power is
interrupted during a live preformance..ugh.
Sure I could pare down a little more the init.d, but how do
pro embedded systems boot in a matter of seconds?
Mounting the fs read-only is a good idea, but does anyone
have other tips for making it more like an old-time
analog fx unit (power-on==>instant sound, power-off==>no harddisk damage)?
Perhaps you could try to optimise the kernel and remove _everything_ you don't
need from the init...
Next step would be to put Linux on your bios...
Arnold, who also has some old hardware around if only I could get the
guillemot maxi sound 32 to work with linux...
BTW: I don't know if that question is really for developers. Perhaps user is a
better place...

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me

After a month or so log in as root and do a rm / -rf. Or ask your
administrator to do so...
