I thought the same thing about the actual quantity, I'll check and post back
later.  Good point about the boot code, and I for one have not flashed a
boot prom at all in reference to this project.  And seeing as I don't have
any documentation on flashing the rom, I'd be speaking out of my ass to say
how its done.  I'll check IBM's website for some docs and post my findings
in a bit.

Joey,
        before you quote the project, find out what do we need to do to
make them boot into ltsp. Out of the box, they don't. I just got one and
it is very nice, but I think it requires ether boot code on the flash. The
flash memory is *not* provided, but there is a socket for standard CF2
flash card. I think it needs programming similar (possibly same) as
Jammin-125 and I don't know first thing about providing it. The person to
ask would be Jim McQ., but it is not nice to ask him to help destroy his
own business ;-)
        Another thought, how many are available? julius
