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

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.

plan 9 has run on the 4501 for quite some time.
