> bplan sample boards will be available to developers in about 4-6
> weeks as single cpu systems (G3/G4). Dual 7450 systems are
> following about 4 weeks later (cpu cards will be user upgradable).
> bplan will have a developer registration program for those boards
> at their web site at mid of next week. Developer boards will be
> available at normal retail price (but ~10 weeks in advance to
> normal production) of about $600 for a G3@450MHz single cpu
system.
