That is pretty awesome, I have a much better feel for Galileo now than I did, its basically a PC with an Arduino Sheld Slot :-). I really liked the switchable 5v/3.3v I/O option.

So way back in the day folks would do unholy things to the parallel port in DOS to get this kind of feature :-) And of course thinking that I realized there is probably an interesting market if you put FreeDOS on this thing for the 'UX', which makes me wonder if Microsoft is going to wake up here at some point and come out with an OS for this stuff. (Not that it's needed, but like Intel they were a big deal in the early experimenters world and they are being made irrelevant in that space by Linux (like Intel is being threatened by ARM) and so I expect them to react at some point)
