有鑑於opensources (linux)搭配硬體有不少相容性問題,一般使用者無法順暢處理,在熱心推廣opensouces 廠商支持之下,推出價格十分低廉的OSS Box OSSLAB則結合已改編譯好的開源碼應用軟體.無需任何安裝修改驅動.以Web UI為主設定方式,讓大家可以方便使用這些開源碼軟體 所有改寫軟體均遵守GPL等軟體合約. Concerning there are quite a few compatibility problems when opensources (linux) collocates with hardware and most users cannot handle it smoothly, we introduce OSS Box of low price under the support of manufacturers who promote opensources intently.

Specifications:
CPU:VIA C3 Nehemiah 1.0 Ghz
DRAM :Long dimm DDR slot*2 32MB~2048MB
Storage: 2 IDEconnector. IDE 1: standard connector; IDE 2: mini connector
Vedio Output:Built-in S-vedio terminal, D-sub, AV terminal, DVI port
USB :4 USB 2.0 ports
Audio :Analog RCA, M-Audio, Coaxial output. MIC input
Lan:2 port 10/100 Lan (RTL8100). Lan 2: Mini PCI slot
PCI: One PCI slot,can be expanded by Raid , Graphics ,4 Port lan card, switch Trunk card, TV Tuner Card
Other ports: Multi-Card Reader, Smart card reader (can be used in ATM transfer), Serial port
Win XP Smooth on internet browsing and playiDVD, mpeg I and II (720P 部份不順暢 1080i不順暢) advantafes: can totally support Mpeg Decoder DVB-T driver ok P2P Stream (PPLive and XBMC can be completely integrated.) 軟體支源性最好 disavantages:Embedded Flash occupies large amount of space and OS gets damaged easily OS authorizatioin is not free.
XBMC Can download xbmc live CD or USB Image (with OS), it takes up 2GB of the space Download link: http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sour..._Live-8.10.zip The current version of XBMC is not compatible with OSS Box. in process
Lan Boot Need to write boot code on main board's flash bios
Shortcoming
USB has problem with large power supply equipment Solution: First: unsolder Diode circuit board, change it into direct connection
also change front-end USB panel and motherboard cable Second: solderless. configure tailgate USB connector, which will take up the PCI slot
USB card reader might be USB 1.1 Solution: change the circuit board. in process
CPU efficiency Solution: Bios over clock, increase the efficiency by 10%
Expansion
PCI Ati 9200 DVI +VGA Hopefully it can play movies of 720P smoothly and OK with 1080i.
4 port lan card can be used as sofeware router which makes this machine 6 port lan.
Analog TV card media center or Slingbox (cpu may not strong enough. testing if EM8475 can be encoded now)
No problem with Satellite DVB-S receiver card, standard DVB-S. CCTV HI-Vision should work (it's Mpeg2 encode)
USB DVB-T 接收-->一般15台沒問題 .但軟體(cpu恐怕不夠力) 或硬體decoder Taiwan Public Telivision Hi HD 可行否?
FXO ,FXS Trunk Card 用於PBx
Reflections:
small volumn, excellent expansion with 1 pc and 1 pci, low price, CPU is a bit slow
images or movies are rather clear when using companent connector or AV output, quite different from AV-out of normal graphic card.
FQA
Since there are many output formats, changes must be made in BIOS in order to output correctly. For example, set to DVI when want to use DVI. Settings of display card's image output are the same with that of BIOS. If set to CRT+TV, output will be done through terminals (AV, S, component vedio). Hence, following match settings are configured: Set to "TV" when need to use AV, S, component vedio output Set to "CRT" or "CRT+DVI" when need to use D-sub (through DIV to D-sub) Set to "DVI" or "CRT+DV when need to use DVI
