Hi, all!
In recently checking out other *BSD sites, I came across a link
to Chalice Technology (UK) -- www.chaltech.com -- under NetBSD's port
pages for ARM/StrongARM. They have a PCI m/b ("CATS") billed as a
"prototyping system" for embedded work, but that doubles as good desktop
m/b. And pretty cheap, too! Does anyone know about this? If NetBSD
runs on it, then why not FreeBSD?
