Guys,
I've been away from MIPS camp for long time since I have
no good modern MIPS HW at hand. I found that one of LinkSys
NAS product named NSS4000 is a very good candidate to
port NetBSD. PLS check out http://www.tmk.com/blog/?p=8
It has 600MHz RM7035C and a variety of modern PCI
peripherals. The most interesting aspect is that it has
PMON2000 bootloader and HW provides serial console connector
to control. I guess it's a kind of rare NAS box which equips L2
cache inside. I hope the product would gain successful share
and would be replaced with bettter processor like MSP8150
(re-badged RM9150) in some future.
