EOMA68: > $60k pledged on crowdsupply.com

crowdsupply.com has a campaign to fund production of EOMA68 computer cards (and associated peripherals) which recently passed the $60,000 mark.

If you were at DebConf13 in Switzerland, you may have seen me with some early prototypes that I had been lent to show people.

The concept: build computers on a PCMCIA physical form-factor, thus confining most of the hardware and software complexity in a single replaceable item, decoupling the design of the outer device from the chips that drive it.

There is a lot more information about this at crowdsupply, and at http://rhombus-tech.net/ -- I hope people find it interesting enough to sign up.

BTW While I host Rhombus Tech's website as a favour to Luke Leighton, I have no financial links with them.
