Hi all,

Ive been looking around about linux and the BUshy box. Im not interested in 
Riscos really, I want to learn about ARM and linux.

Anyway, looking around, it seems the US market had a device called a WebPal, 
which was their version of the bushy box. AGain, it seems to be based quite 
closely on the Cirrus logic CL7500 dev system.

There is a much bigger hack base working on the webpal, and they have got linux 
2.4 working on it. If anyone is interested, look at this page:-

Slight differences are the SIMM based flash and a few othe bits - the ISA slot 
is a nice touch allowing a NIC card to be plugged in straight off.

Sorry if you all new about this.

Cheers for now, Vincent
