Ok, do I call IBM to get my hands on the IBM 405GP Evaluation Kit? If so where do I start? I was thinking that the PC-in-disguise was a good option for me... But you don't seem to hold it in great favor... What I want is a very basic PowerPC computer (ethernet, harddrive, power, ram, etc) that'll run Linux that I can prototype a system on and attach a couple of PCI cards to. And when I get my system running, I can take the box to a manufacturer for production :) Mark PS. Thanks to all who have emailed me information - it has given me a lot to think about! ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
