Hello Just received a Lemote Leeyong 8101B (the 10 inches display model). I took pictures of the machine from all sides + a few with a centimeters/inches ruler for people interested by this machine.
OpenBSD support page for the platform : http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html If you do not know anything about it, it's a netbook that is powered by a Loongson (chinese) MIPS-III chip (it has some MIPS-IV operands I think, from a PDF I downloaded that covers its chip available operands). The machine is fully open about it's hardware : no binary blob is used for anything and the BIOS is PMON, a C-written BIOS (Miod says it's crap so it probably is). Weak point of the machine would be autonomy : battery is light and small, is rated for 23 W/h of power (fully charged I get 25 W/h from it). SD model uses 12 W/h and hard-disk model uses 15 W/h so it gives you 1.5 hour of autonomy under load (might get near 2h if not loaded too much but don't hope too much for it). The machine is loaded with a Linux (I did not power it yet). Here are the pictures : https://picasaweb.google.com/gilboooo/LemoteLeeyong8101_B# If you want some specific pictures, close ups of some parts, please email me. I am going to install OpenBSD using Miod's doc and document each part of it with pictures so the whole process for total noobs can be used. I think this machine is the only machine currently used by Richard Stallman because of its open hardware approach. While Theo is loading his shotgun with salt to take care of me for saying that, please check the pictures and consider it. It's MIPS, it runs OpenBSD, and it works without any binary blob (it also has two stereo speakers on front if you like to listen to music while coding ! Very nice !) Greeting to Miod for his work on the platform, but also Jasper Lievisse, Adriaanse for allowing us to be able to use this very nice platform on OpenBSD. Your beers are waiting for you, all expenses covered by me. -- Gilbert
