[Arm-dev] What's the best support hardware model ?

[Troy Dawson]

I'm interested in an enterprise grade 32bit arm product.  Even if you don't
send it to the list, I'd be interested in who it is.

As for netiquette, I think enough other arm board manufactures have been
mentioned on this list.  Listing one more isn't going to be considered
"advertising".
