[hpsdr] Atom PC

[Kjell Karlsen]

Hi Dale,

I have used another Mainboard but I think this is common for all: When I  
tried to install XP from an external USB CDrom it was impossible to do  
that. I had to use a CDrom with SATA interface.(ATA will also do it) It is  
possible that there is a methode to do it from USB but I did not manage.

73, Kjell
