Dear Mr. David,

I want to help you, but I am in P. R. of China, very far from you.

Regard,

    Dear Technetters
     
    I have been approached by someone in the Marine Corps about finding someone that can design, build, and assemble a pentium replacement board for some old 486 ruggedized computers.  They were originally made by Litton and Litton wants $3600 to replace the 486 board with a whopping 200Mhz pentium.  This Marine is trying to find a company that could do this for alot less and hopefully with something more powerful than  200 Mhz.   The board is not a standard pentium board.  It would have to be designed to fit this particular case.  The computer is ruggedized to be used in the desert and woods.  Right now the Marine Corps is using off the shelf Compaq laptops but after two days in the desert they were experiencing failures  do to the dust and sand.  This ruggedized 486 was used very successfully in the desert and woods in the past but now is of course to slow.
     
    If anybody knows of any company that can do this type of thing I would appreciate the contact.
     
    Thank you 
    David
