Hardware, Embedded Systems Back on June 9 2003, OSNews posted an article by Joshua Boyles entitled "The Edge Computing System". In that article Joshua lays out his vision, "of a new and very unique computing system". In this new article, an attempt will be made to further build on Jonathan's ideas through what can be termed, "Open Peripheral Hardware Connectivity".

Computers are the exception

In the non computer world nearly everthing is standardised from appliance voltages, vehicle emissions, dimensions of beer cans etc. PCs are increasingly conformist - no ADB or NuBus ports on Macs, common ATX form factors, slots etc. Eventually computers will be completely generic and standards compliant in operation like telephones, TVs and toasters.
