heh, speaking of the pandora[1] has anyone looked at it with an eye
to getting plan 9
Dyslexia and confirmation bias. Wikipedia says I have source amnesia.
I do remember reading about the thing, but only that.
However nice it may be, I can't justify buying yet another N900-parity SBC.

But it uses the undocumented SiS Volari Z11 VGA controller.
There is a linux driver for this chip but that's all,
and by all accounts its not enough.

There are some newish fanless intel mini-itx motherboards about, anyone
had one of these boot plan9? I had poor results from the previous generation
due to unhelpful BIOS.
Try to get your hands on a C3-based board. They tend to predate much of
the ACPI crap that has infested the BIOS space

I want to build a net booting silent plan9 terminal
which will talk to a usb keyboard and mouse, and
will drive an HDMI monitor at somthing like 1900x1200.
Am I still stuck with x86 or is there an ARM solution these days?

the rumor mill infers it will output 720p (1280x720) at best. good for
multimedia but not enough for a good terminal.
I suspose I sould have said DVI or HDMI output,
I've had one on order since June. It appears to be vaporware.

the UK website says shipping Feb 2011...
The thin client boxes look like what I want, anyone had any success
with plan9 and one of these?

Can anyone find the specs on the gumstix summit board DVI/HDMI output? A
tide+summit combo could make a nice Plan9 terminal. Once all the drivers are
in place...

cpu speed: depending on your glacier, it could be faster.

You might take a look at the Beagle Boards. They're OMAP-based and
completely open source hardware. So, if you feel up to it, you can tack
on pretty much anything you like.

Except high throughput peripherals like video.
Cortex A8 based SoCs found in the Gumstix Overo and the Beagleboard
The Guruplug Display is not vaporware. I ordered one just before
Christmas and it arrived a few days ago. It's a different SoC
than the other plugs use, but I don't expect much trouble porting
to it.
The omap port (/sys/src/9/omap) already runs on the gumstix overo,
though not all peripherals

what model is it?

The Armada 168 does do WUXGA (1920x1200), so don't bother with that TI
Pandaboard, especially since TI still thinks it's okay to implement
ethernet using the usb bus.
It is kind of a bummer that omap based boards like Gumstix don't
include GBe, though the feature is admittedly superflous on a SoC
I do like the fact that the omap is pretty much unbrickable. I wonder
if Erik has been able to reflash his plug
it's not a flash problem. bad caps ... again.
