Just to throw my Eur. 0.02 into the discussion: I have a dual-CPU Octane
sitting here unused for at least 2 years (due to ENOTIME) which I'm
planning to sell in the near future. It's equipped with a PCI cardcage,
too, so supporting PCI hardware is no problem either.
I'm located just outside Karlsruhe, Germany.
If anyone's interested in borrowing or buying the machine for a porting
effort, let me know.
Cheers,
Gerald
