Ideally we could etch a single sided PCB, the just fit the card carrier
and the IDE interface to it. Very cheap, but a bit of faffing around.

On a different note, I've just grabbed some ammo boxes. One of
which is almost exactly mini tower size and shape. It's got a hermetic
seal, and appears to be explosion proofed (I'm unsure quite why 
we'd want an explosion proof access point, but it strikes me as
a Neat Thing[tm])

Actually, thinking about it, a rugged mobile access point would
be ver handy for disaster recovery, just drop a chain of the
things back to where wired connectivity works. Perhaps it's
not such a daft idea.

Oh, and if you want to drop kit round, Steve will be in all
day today, and I'll be around on Sunday.

Cheers,

Doug.
