Hi folks,

[ Sorry for dropping in like this -- I'm a FreeBSD weenie, happy with the
  i386 platform, and little uneducated when it comes to other platforms.
  After reading http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/index.html I think this
  is the best place to send this too -- apologies if it's off topic ]

I'm considering buying the Empeg in-car MP3 player (http://www.empeg.com/).

However, I'd rather it didn't run Linux.  Partly because I just prefer the
BSD way of doing things, and partly just for the hack value of using the
hardware on another OS.

The technical info at http://www.empeg.com/tech.html says that the unit
uses a 220MHz StrongARM S-1100-DA.  The NetBSD ARM page says that NetBSD
is compatible with the ARM processor, which is great.  I just wanted to
double check that it's compatible with this particular ARM processor.

Thanks,

N
