Raspberry PI ARM Clone

[Charles Sibbald]

Hello Folks,

I have had discussions with some friends about the possibility of a
high spec 'clone' of the PI and this has brought us to the list at the
bottom of the page.

We have been in discussions with a PCB designer and expect we can
produce this with a retail price of under US$100.

Does anyone have any comments on this idea, what would be the interest
in such a spec board?

On advantage we have is that we will have an agreement with chipset
manufacturers for access to necessary information for the BSD
community to develop drivers.
