hi erik,

i havent seen much discussion on soekris cards in 9fans and inferno-list. so
i wish people interested in embedded boards consider soekris.

also, by support i meant support for controller devices (SATA
support?/ethernet support (5501 says VIA VTA6105M chips or so)?, etc). i
mean, more than just getting it up and running. may be, i need a first hand
expericence with the board before mentioning this.

regards
dharani
