We'd be happy to make available a preprogrammed DOC or daughtercard with LinuxBIOS
that plugs into a
motherboard BIOS ROM socket featuring:
DIP and PLCC versions for the factory BIOS
Paged memory expansion for the DOC so you could plug in a DOC of up to say 64MB or
more much like
the Flash Extender mentioned about a week ago
Two switchable sockets for choice of boot from the factory BIOS or DOC
Hot swapping between factory BIOS and DOC
Let me know if there's any real interest.
