I have had a number of people ask me about supporting the meshcube.

I have found a US distributor for the meshcube (which is no longer in a
transparent case, its a bit more ruggedized apparently.)

They are $750 new.

I'm trying to swindle one out of them so I can bring up NetBSD on it.  I
may be able to come up with a little money to purchase one as well -- I
don't know.  I need to talk to my employer to see what I can get
approved in the name of broadening the scope of the Alchemy port.  (It
would be nice to increase the size of the community, I think.)  At the
same time, I'm attempting to find out if I can get a loaner, freebie, or
even reduction in price from the distributor.

If anyone else in the community has a spare one that they want to loan
me, that would work too.

My guess is that support would be nearly automatic once I have one.
