I was secretly hoping for much the same thing. I have several HP machines

expensive 9read : I can't afford the prices charged for such things to
people who depened on such machines for their work).
Well, uIEC tries to hit the $50-$100 price range, so it's not terribly
expensive, but provides enough profit to pay for my tools I needed to
buy to create it and add functionality to it.
How 'open' is the uIEC? The more open
something like this is, the more
likely I am to get it (of course!).
The plans, source, PCB, etc. are all under GPL v2. However, for the ASM
lovers and the C haters of the list, I will note that almost the entire
firmware is in 'C'.
