sitting on my desk is an assembled gumstix (no chassis) that had been
intended to be my wearable plan9 terminal.

i never saw one with three digits, but i think
a third digit would give you 1600% more

I wouldn't usually do this, as I know this isn't e-bay, :) but since access to
non-x86 hardware is being discussed...
would anyone be interested in an IBM p630 (POWER4+)?

we already have a device.
In fact, Enrique is working on the ethernet driver for Inferno.

excellent, I will buy one and join in once you chose a device.

i talked once to ron about porting to the gumstix as a gsoc project
i'd be willing to do.

The Alpha is dead. It never ran 64-bit anyway. What

Back to earth, I suppose :-)
I don't know the answer, but I suspect that if no one presents you
with a solution, it means you need to do the porting work yourself.
You will get assistance, but in my limited experience and knowledge it
is hard to

Sure, but how do you "keep Plan 9 honest" if no one checks
portability?
In fact, it's already very hard to find porting opportunities for Plan
