I have one from Tekmote (supplier for all Europe). They have also a laptop with Loongson 3 (full MIPS64). 2014-08-15 6:41 GMT+02:00 Skip Tavakkolian : > thanks! this is cool. > > btw, the only supplier i can find is aliexpress. are there any others? > > > > On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 7:07 PM, cherry wrote: >> >> Hello 9Fans, >> >> I just got a Loongson 2F machine (Yeeloong 8089A laptop) (MIPS LE), so >> I extended my previous Loongson 2E port (32 bit) to run on it.
