I have a H8DAE running in a test-box before we start selling them.

So far I have ony found one problem:
It is impossible to boot FreeBSD/i386 with the 1U IPMI card, the kernel 
panics when loading the keyboard driver. This does not happen with 
FreeBSD/amd64. I haven't tested how well the IPMI card works in FreeBSD, 
there may be problems with the bge driver.

Other than that I really like the board. If you have any more questions 
I'll be happy to answer them.
