Re: Looking for netbsd compatible boards

Thank you all for your answers. I will look for Soekris and TS-7200 
since both have case and I don't feel like building my own. I have seen 
that NetBSD has support for easy-to-find serial<->usb adaptor ( Sitecom 
CN 116), so I can get the number of serial ports that I want.
