The norwich is an internal development platform - it is a good starting
point because its the most complete and versatile Geode platform we have -
it supports virtually every single option available in commercial Geode
platforms.  We chose it because it provides a good basis for other developers
to add their own mainboards - its always easier to remove the options
you don't have, then to try to figure out how to enable new ones.

If you are interested in a Geode platform, there are many alternatives 
available.  This catalog is a good start:

Thats not the only list, there are other commercial Geodes available, 
like this, for example:

And more are coming every day.  Now that the support is out there, we're
in a position to support Geode vendors if they are interested in adapting
the code to their platforms.  The more testers, the better.. :)
