Sounds like fun.  I'm not sure what I'd do w/ it yet.  I like the 
idea of wearables but I'm not sure what I'd use mine for yet.  at 2 
gigs its a little light on storage but I'm sure that can be easily 
fixed.  I would try voice stuff but I'm not sure how hard it would be 
to add sound support. I have a spare ISA sb64 but I need a two or 
three slot passive ISA backplane and a mount for it.  The trouble 
there is it increases the size of the (already large) box that it all 
goes in.  Anybody have ideas what *I* can do with it (not sell/give 
it to you)?

Well this is a $500 board that I got for $50.  The rest of it I had 
lying about. The board is about the same size as a recent ISA 
soundblaster (even has an ISA edge connector to add a passive ISA 
backplane).  Also has a PC104 socket on it.
