Hi -
for a hardware development/test setup we need a system on
a PMC board, compliant to the PrPMC VITA standard. The processor
architectures available are PowerPC, MIPS and ARM, to my knowledge.
I'd prefer the PowerPC here.

There seems to be the Artesyn "pmppc" supported by NetBSD.
Would you call the board and the port usable?

The Motorola product line (PrPMC610 or PrPMC800) might have
some more market coverage, but I didn't find anything about
OS support there. Is there someone working on a NetBSD port?

(I'd even run Linux, because there is not enough time for a
serious OS porting project, but MontaVista is too expensive.)

Other recommendations?

thanks & best regards
Matthias
