[9fans] Plan 9 Terminal Target

[Michaelian Ennis]

At 280 USD this seemed like a nice Plan 9 terminal or native inferno target.

Looks like the same Geode motherboard as as this one
	http://www.sumotech.com/english/hardware/st166_overview.php
This one comes with foundry linux based thin client s/w on
internal CF.

I got one to try about 18 months ago. Quite a nice little box,
but won't replace my NCD X-Term till I get NAS audio working on it...

Havn't tried it for Plan9 compatability yet.

i think that's 280 euros — over $400.

the "infos" or "miscs" didn't include the ethernet chipset
or the vga chipset.

it's quite strange how english words tour europe
and come back under a new heading.

Assuming it is what I think it is, this is what dmesg produces:

Talking of cheap machines ...

Does anyone know anything about the Elonex One?
http://elonexone.co.uk/

It's ~USD200.

I'm getting a couple anyway for other reasons,
but if they could be used to do something 9ish as well,
that would be a bonus.

I'll start looking at running 9 on it ASAP of course,
but any shoulders to stand on would be useful.

Another good cause!

I'm cycling 50 miles from London to Brighton
to support the British Heart Foundation.
