Re: [oc] NIC controller etc?

Just wondering how are you doing now with your board?

I am planning to get one too. But, I'm thinking of getting it from
http://www.xilinx.com/

The link to development/prototype is at
http://toolbox.xilinx.com/cgi-bin/xilinx.storefront/EN/Catalog/1013

However, this plan suddenly became secondary when I read that OCRP-1 will
soon be available.
