This is just history repeating itself. When I first encountered Unix

Many PIR tables on many platforms are just flat-out wrong. As
mentioned here in earlier years, something like 50% of the geode
platforms out there had incorrect PIR tables, and Linux had incorrect
interpretation of those tables inserted which made the 1/2 boards that
were working break (this was al

Despite being touted as fanless and most C7-based boards being equipped
only with heatsinks they get hot as hell. Right now I'm experimenting on a
board (custom form factor) built around VIA Eden 1.2 GHz, CX700 chipset,
with FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (1 GB RAM, 8 GB IDE SSD, networked, and an

Very good point. And, an extremely tempting experiment you have introduced
me/us to out of your mighty rucksack. Could prove to be the downfall of me,
buying a few more PC-104 (don't need be PC-104+, right?) Geode boards (I
already got one based on LX 800). Thank you :-)
Then, even without act

Hello everyone, I got a QNAP TS-212 filer, because it purports to have
the same processor as the SheevaPlug, but has space in its case for
two SATA hard drives, and a separate power supply, and a cooling fan,
thus neatly avoiding all the problems I foresaw in using a SheevaPlug
as a file server.
