Netwinder forsale?

Netwinder forsale?

[Larry McVoy]

Folks, I'm trying to track down hardware so we can support BK on the
StrongARM.  If anyone has one or two Netwinders sitting gathering dust,
could you contact me privately and let me know what you want for them.
And does anyone know where Sam Menhat (spelling?) ended up?  I'll bet
he knows where there are some of these.

Thanks in advance.

Consider a cerfcube: www.cerfcube.com.

I've had quite an easy time with it...and they ship a
cross-compiler toolchain with it.  Just be wary of the
boot loader options like 'eraseflash', it really will,
with no remorse :)

Umm, there's one problem with this route - what about all the
libraries like X11 and other stuff that BK will most likely
require?

Well, you can get a large CF flash disk or IBM micro-driver, or you
can mount a disk over NFS, if you're concerned about disk space.  However,
it probably wouldn't be a whole lot of fun to cross-compile and
figure out how to install X, regardless of where you store it,
so a netwinder might be best if you can find one...
