Re: netwinder or ARM build platform

[Andrew McGregor]

Lanner IXP425 dev board with minipci disk controller (USB?), or using NFS?

Advantech have a PXA-based processor module for their modular baseboards 
too.

Both are much cheaper than a Zaurus, both are about that fast and probably 
have much more IO bandwidth, being PCI machines.
