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.

i don't know. i don't have a 5501. by the way i should have
made it clear that plan 9 does run on this box as ken fs running
does not imply that plan 9 does.
