mircea_popescu: well, the good news is that serenissima really has no unemployment.
mircea_popescu: so you'll soon discover "same part number" when we're talking boards means exactly nothing, and we'll be stuck tracing down exact vintage ?
mircea_popescu: a bitwise copy of your current system on an assemblage of the same hardware wouldn't boot ?
mircea_popescu: don't tell me we lost the "interchangeable parts" to THAT degree.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field shouldn't be any extra work really. just, bundle the software with a description of the hardware.
