When I took the picture in the following url, I was focusing on what it would take to run off of 12V deep cycle battery:<br><br><a href="http://schoolserver.wordpress.com/xs-installation/xs-0-7-running-on-xo-1-5/">http://schoolserver.wordpress.com/xs-installation/xs-0-7-running-on-xo-1-5/</a><br>
<br>I'm concerned with packaging, and physical robustness in a real school setting. Maybe we could get someone with ME skills to dream up a cheap package for all the accessory items. <br><br>We probably don't need the DC to DC inverter and the usb hub. But then we don't have an extra port for sneaker-net, or an adult sized usb keyboard.<br>
<br>At the fall 2011 summit, there was a general call for a turnkey XS that "just worked". If we could solve the form factor problem, the XO1.75 might be a good solution.<br><br>I think it was Sameer who was telling me that in Australia, they are thinking about one XS per classroom. In that setting, seems to me that XO1.75 (even with only 512MB memory) would be more than adequate.<br>

Why not an XO-1.75 ?<br>
