    Yes - I'm working with a customer who's using that chip in their system,
    and having problems with a (embedded Ada) network driver they've written.
    Rather than ship me the avionics box, this would allow me to help debug
    their driver locally.

    I ended up getting a PC-104 SBC (TS-5300) from Technologic Systems that
    has the 8900a onboard. It arrived last night... first impressions are
    very good. http://www.embeddedx86.com/epc/ts5300-spec-h.html

    Thanks!
