Set top box update

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Amazon tells me that there are now two people selling their Akimbo
boxes. Perhaps I'll definitely buy one.

And Joe here is the linked page which contains a reference to the STB
kit from Intel:
http://cerberus.teamhackaday.com/?p=3

It turns out that it comes up right below the description for the
device. It seems the only thing nonstandard about it is the crappy
BIOS that Akimbo insisted on.

Hello!
Update. The units are still for sale, I might buy one of them this
month. I'll know more by Friday. However that site I mentioned is
unfortunately gone. The Wayback machine found it, but without the
pictures included, alas.
