Another option would be getting an > old LANDisk device which can also be used to run Debian's sh4 port [3]. So, while reading the SH4 page in the Debian wiki [1], I stumbled accross another very interesting SH4 machine, the NextVOD from Taiwan [2] (Chinese name: 網樂通). The specs [3] look very promising: * SH7105 CPU running at 600 MHz (other sources claim 450 MHz) * 256 MiB RAM * 8 GiB Flash storage (through an internal USB stick) * Ethernet * USB 2.0 * HDMI * AV out Apparently Paul Liu (another Debian guy from Taiwan I know personally) has or had such a device as well. At least he's got a filesystem image in his Debian webspace [4]. I will get in touch with him. Maybe he can help us acquire multiple boxes from Taiwan for little money.
