Hi,
Are you specifically after the DEC reference NC design or rather a
StrongARM based NetBSD machine ? e.g. SA110 + superIO + PCI slots + ISA
slots or SA110 + ethernet + IO etc.

If it is the latter then I can point you in the direction of various types
of hardware that NetBSD will run on and where to get it etc. for a lot
less than $2500

Currently NetBSD runs on SA110 based RiscPC's and the DEC DNARD board.
A Port to the DEC EBSA285 I expect to commit shortly.
Ports to several other SA110 based systems exist or are in development.

Cheers,
				Mark
