[nos-bbs] New official version - JNOS 2.0f - frozen !

[Mark Phillips]

I thought about the NSLU2 but that would mean having to port the sources
as well as add USB<>Serial adapters and that's the bit that would rule
out router type platforms.

The WRAP board is the size of a Dollar bill. Pretty small if you ask me!

I have a "brain dump" web page about my work on the Soekris 45xx series
at http://www.g7ltt.com/jnos

I have some pictures somewhere of the WRAP install too but I can;t find
them.
