Hi.

I work for a lab that needs to do a lot of audio recording and data
collection in the field (jungles, arctic, etc.), and we're thinking 
about carrying some DSP power to pre-process the data.  

Does anyone have any leads on available boxes or boards that might be
suitable?  It would be nice if the box were:

o Lightweight 
    That means few bulky peripherals.  Maybe a keypad and LCD display.
    Data output to audio tape in digital or analog form.
    (For some measurements, the bandwidth of the processed data is
    much lower than the sound itself.  Sometimes a simple "what" and
    "where" once a second suffices.)

o Battery powered
    Maybe a car battery, maybe smaller.

o EPROM based
    It would be nice if some sort of operating system or libraries were
    available.

o Rugged
    For obvious reasons.

Any leads or anecdotes appreciated.  (By email, please.)

Thanks,
  --Steve
