I talked to 3 different board vendors, Digiboard included, who were
all very eager to do FreeBSD support and, in some cases, pledged code
at technical assistance at the V.P. of Engineering level.

I will post some names and addresses to those individuals truly
interested in doing _technical_ follow-ups (not just "me too!  I want
it too!" queries) to any of the companies in question.  I also have
contacts at Buslogic, Advansys & Future Domain on the same terms.
Contact me if interested.
