See http://www.realweasel.com/ for one such vendor. Pricing is available only by request, but check this out: "The PC Weasel distinguishes itself even further by being an open-source product. Every purchaser receives a source license for the Weasel's onboard microcontroller code. If you don't like some aspect of the board's behaviour as shipped by us, you're free to modify it using a gcc-based toolchain. The code store is flash memory that can be written without special equipment, and there's a second serial port provided for debugging." -- Ben 220 go.ahead.make.my.day ESMTP Postfix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
