Look again at the specs. The Athena has 128mb on board, and uses a

He could also go with the Athena card instead. That does have VGA on
it. And it's a faster processor.

Looking closer at it the biggest shortcoming I see now is the lack of ram
the card only handles 32mb and Linux is very memory intensive and running

My reference was to the Prometheus board that was suggested, and it does
look like a viable source for the data acquisition.

I have not looked up the Athena. Who makes it? Even the 128mb is pretty
marginal for Linux except possibly in the straight data acquisition mode.
