Ok good to know about development plans, I have some ideas about userspace bootloaders on top of Linux (Firewire "target mode" ala Mac, EVMS anyone?), but that's not quite what I was asking about.
I was wondering if anyone has ordered a tube of 2M chips, (in Canada esp.) otherwise I'm going to go ahead and place an order. Does anyone know if there are other LinuxBIOS developers/interested parties in Canada that might want some of these or other flash parts?
Regards,
Jeremy

ordering right off their website looks easy, credit cards payment accepted.
I'll need at least 10 of these right off, I was thinking of just ordering a tube, but I thought I better find out what others are planning first.
Well, I am going to use the work Jordan has done on buildrom to continue the Linux as Bootloader work. That has already been used in several commercial products, and will be used in more in future, so I want to see what's possible.
