weeks later (cpu cards will be user upgradable). bplan will have a
developer registration program for those boards at their web site at mid
of next week. Developer boards will be available at normal retail price
(but ~10 weeks in advance to normal production) of about $600 for a
G3@450MHz single cpu system.


Anyone know what bridge chip this is using? Is it the Artica chip?

Who is doing the SMP bring-up work? I'd like very much to talk to whomever 
is doing the linux bring-up on this board about getting the code into the 
'mainline' linux kernel..
