Comment Details on the THREE year old CATS board (Score 3) 118
The Cats board is about 3 years old, (I believe it was supported in about 96-97 by NetBSD (I think it was in version 1.3 ) That's why it has ISA slots.
I believe it is actually supported by the latest linux's. I don't know for sure, my arm unix exp is from NetBSD, which it is supported by, people still have them on the arm32 list for NetBSD.
I remember at the time thinking that cats boards were good value for money, these days they're not, but that's what time does for you. The reason for the price, cos they're made in low volume by a 2 man company at the time. I'm not even sure the company has survived after Acorn died a couple of years back.
Something puzzling me is why is this getting posted as news? It's 3 years old or so...
