It's hard to say whether a board will work without testing. You could try searching the 9front sysinfo lists, but it's possible this board has never been used. If it does work, I'm sure the 9front project would enjoy a copy of the sysinfo for it :) I've done all my Plan 9 hosting through Vultr, but looking at their locations the farthest north they offer in Europe is Amsterdam. Good luck! Cheers, Sean On 2/15/19 5:57 AM, Kare Nuorteva wrote: Hello 9fans, I'm a Plan 9 enthusiast from Finland. I've been playing around with Plan 9 as a hobby for few years now.

I think 9fans' work is done here. Time to move on to other things :) On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 4:59 PM Kurt H Maier wrote: > On Sat, Feb 16, 2019 at 01:48:01AM +0100, hiro wrote: > > > https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2019/02/15/whats-new-for-wsl-in-windows-10-version-1903/ > > > > Just when the linux kids finally gave up on 9p2000.l, and introduced > virtio-fs, Microsoft shows up to ensconce 9p forever. > > khm > >
