Then we got lives or women or something for awhile....
Our mission: To create CD-based MP3 players using old computer parts. These players ultimately should work with a small input device (other than a bulky keyboard) and without a monitor. They should boot from a small drive (in this case a ATA Flashcard), run off a minimal amount of RAM (4-8MB), and require no other storage space (hard drives). This will allow players to be turned off at any point without loss of data.
