Uhhm... that's an Intel StrongARM. Unfortunately :-(
Still sounds like a nice box though. I've been waiting for a cheap box
based on the DEC StrongArm NC reference design, but none seem to have shown
up until now.

If they want to sell the things, the MSRP better be less than US $500.
I can buy at a local retailer a Cyrix MediaGX 166 MHz that has similar
capabilites (less the modem, ethernet, and IRDA, but with a floppy drive)
for $500. The modem, two ethernet cards, and IRDA cost less than $150 when
purchased separately ($80 modem, 2x$29 100 Mbit Ethernet, $10 IRDA dongle).
So are the Corel packages going to be available for Linux/x86, or only
Linux/ARM? And what about Linux/Alpha, etc.?
