As an aside about this, we (the Flux research group at the University of
Utah) have a few DEC DNARDs that we're doing some development work on, and
a couple of them spend a fair amount of time idle right now - so we'd be
willing to open them up to a _few_ people who are serious about an ARM
port and want another platform (the DNARDs are StrongARM based NCs. They
netboot like a charm) on which to work.
If there's interest, let me know and we can work out the access details.
they're on power boxes, have serial consoles you can tip to, etc.
The "few" part is that we're still bringing our research DNARD cluster
online, so space is a bit limited. :)
