Additional Comments

FreemanPascal - I'm using the chassis that Advantech offers. It's a good solution to support and protect the 5822. Only caveat is is the hard disk mounting is on the outside of the chassis.

FreemanPascal (01Apr02) - PacTec Enclosures makes a case that fits the PCM-5822 near perfectly with enough room for the mainboard, a PCMCIA PC104 board, and a custom power system. Take a look at model LM77-200 (2"x7"x7.5" ext) (2"x5.9"x7 int/usable). Available at Mouser Electronics for $14.95.
