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? --Rich On Wed, 14 Jul 1999 mestery@visi.com wrote: > > mestery@visi.com wrote: > > > > The Digitial Network Appliance, the "reference design" for the StrongArm, > > ran a BSD variant that was reported at different times as being either > > NetBSD or FreeBSD.
