All,

After reviewing some of the comments on the ASUS KGPE-D16 being
essentially too large of a system and too expensive for many people, and
the fact that modern, blob-free systems are not really available in the
mid-range arena, Raptor Engineering would like to offer to create a
native initalization blob-free port for the ASUS KCMA-D8, which is
essentially the KGPE-D16's ATX-compatible "little brother".

We would be asking $15,000 for the port, including upstreaming to the
master coreboot tree.  We already have extensive experience with these
Family 10h/15h boards, and would be able to create a port of similar
quality to the existing KGPE-D16 source in terms of both code quality
and overall functionality.

If this is something you might be interested in please let me know.  We
are able to accept multiple payments from various sources for the same
project (within limits), so if this is something your local Linux groups
or similar might be interested in we should be able to keep the cost on
any one individual or organization to a reasonable level.

Thank you for your consideration,
