My understanding is that the single biggest impediment to using the pi to power a MythTV frontend is the lack of an accelerated graphics driver. Sounds like some very interesting stuff may be coming down the pike. |

Does sound encouraging. I may hafta actually acquire one of these thingies. Unfortunately, my biggest single impediment is finding someone who actually has something other than snare/spare-ware for me. Our ol' friend Adafruit talks about 'em, and has a couple dozen accessories ready to sell me, but get an actual living/breathing RPi in my hand? Sorry. Charlie! As far as I'm concerned, it's all much ado about nothing ....literally. |

@notbob: The RPi is in stock at the distributor for immediate delivery. See this LXer thread for the ordering information: http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/33924/ I ordered four of them on the day the 512MB model was announced, and had them in my hand two days later. |

DOH!!! Too late. I'll hafta try again in 4 wks. I'll get on their emailing list. Oh well, give me time to figure out an I/O scheme, as I still have old I/Os. Anyone make a PS2 -> USB adapter? notsurprised |

Quoting: Anyone make a PS2 -> USB adapter? I've seen 'em in several flavors (signal-wiring only or interface). Try Amazon. |
