Check out the following link: http://www.causality.com/ These guys are based in England and write the NetBSD ARM port. The StrongARM is an awesome chip. We are using it in a product where I work, and I must say it is nice. We are currently running VxWorks on it, but I plan to grab the NetBSD sources and port NetBSD to it sometime in the coming months. Very nice. -- Kyle Mestery StorageTek's Network Systems Group "I'll take what you're willing to give, and I'll teach myself to live, with a walk-on part of a background shot from a movie I'm not in." - Blink 182, "Apple Shampoo" On Tue, 19 May 1998, Dave Andersen wrote: > Lo and behold, Julian Elischer once said: > > do we have a strong-arm version of FreeBSD coming up? :-) > > DEC ported NetBSD to run on their old StrongARM computer, the shark. > They've discontinued that one, however, and it looks like they're turning > linux-ward. > > -Dave > > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 11:45:04 -0700 > > From: Anne Urban <agu@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu> > > To: colen@San-Jose.ate.slb.com, decker@alumni.caltech.edu, > > joeld@engr.sgi.com, julian@whistle.com, ktl@hyperparallel.com, > > markv@pixar.com, nitzberg@netcom.com > > Subject: talk > > > > >From owner-colloq-local-list@lists.Stanford.EDU Fri May 15 20:35 PDT 1998 > > Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 18:43:53 -0700 (PDT) > > From: Andreas Paepcke <paepcke@cs.stanford.edu> > > To: colloq@cs.stanford.edu > > Subject: Talk: Itsy: An Open Platform for Pocket Computing > > > > > > On Wednesday, May 20, 1998, we will host a talk by Dr. Deborah Wallach of > > DEC WRL.
