Nice Canadians, $200 US for a unit without a drive. Very linuxy. Unfortunately, it has no serial ports, so debugging is pretty limited. I can donate network access to one, and can loan you one for the duration of your work on it. If you want network access, email me an ssh key off-list, or if you want one to put your hands on, email me an address off-list. > Even with hardware, it would probably be at least > a month before I had time to look at it.

Beggars can't be choosers, so any time you donate to this project would be appreciated by me anyway. --=20 Alec Kloss alec@SetFilePointer.com IM: angryspamhater@yahoo.com PGP key at http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xA241980E "No Bunny!" -- Simon, from Frisky Dingo --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHlyBa2s33paJBmA4RAnHDAJ49QccZxXdtJBzgryBjiKUetfnrWACeJveY 03WP7/R8R7FHMka0giWVHPU= =kHsY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn--
