I found the link that this story was posted on (
www.clubic.com). The site is in french, which i don't speak or read, so I went to freetranslation.com and plugged it in. Here is a very hacked translation:
NEC / T engine demonstrated a computer new type really mini: the T CUBE. These computers measure only 52x52x45mm and weigh 165 grams. They integrate a processeur NEC VR5701 rhythmical MIPS to 400 MHz and a memory embarked of 64 to 128 Mo.
They propose at the level of the connectique, a harbor CompactFlash (useful to preserve its data seen that there is not hard disc), a harbor Ethernet, two harbors USB, a harbor COM and a harbor VGA. The nutrition directly is assured by a standard transformer.
To work these PERCENTS use an operating system embarked baptized "T kernel", diverted from Linux, it proposes a solution bureautique completes (mall, navigator Web, treatment text ...).
The T CUBE should be marketed from the month of March 2004, to a price that still remains unknown for the moment.
