RouterBoard 493G question and AR8327 hardware to donate..

[Ben Perrault]

Cool - I’ll let you know when the CRS-125-24g-1S-2HnD-In is in hand. 

And thats great news on the RB450G, though i thought ( and the RB493G ) had AR8316s in them ( I could be, and probably am, wrong though. ). Still awesome to here. I would love to get this thing self contained ( like my RouterStation Pros ). 

cheers,

But I'm not entirely sure how to do this ( i've looked at the docs, and am still a little lost ). It was for a RB450, but it seems most things regarding the RB450/450G apply to the RB493G.

It's AR8327 based, which I know just got support in head. I'm assuming adrian would be the person to talk to, but I could be wrong. Is there interest? It would be a neat box for soft switching stuff, for sure.
