What ever became of that effort? Jeffrey Hsu and I were required to send our loaner hardware back. We had a running NetBSD system, and I was abstracting the clock code; it seems that the FreeBSD console code relies on timers that have to be detected. I wanted to blackbox the kernel pieces so that a chip detect could result in multiple devices being exported as a single monolithic unit. I still have my SCSI HD with all the code on it. I sent email asking about purchasing replacement hardware, but didn't get a response from the company.
