Hi all, I was searching around eBay last night to see what old PowerPC based equipment I could buy for development work.
There is a used-equipment seller with a 125 Artesyn PM/PPC-750 units for sale at $50 ea. It looks like this is an end-of-life part for Artesyn, since the data sheet is no longer on their web (they have only the newer parts). The PowerPC appears to be a 603e-type processor, whereas I'm really more interested in the 440 Book E, and so the Artesyn PM/PPC-440 is probably what I should look at (or the Xpedite1k since Travis said he's ported it to U-Boot). But hey, if anyone else is looking for toys ... also if anyone has the datasheet for this board, and can confirm that I could put U-Boot and Linux on it, I'd seriously consider offering $50 for a couple. The eBay search was for cPCI, the company selling the parts is OSTI sales direct. Cheers Dave
