Re: [9fans] SheevaPlug 0 170 (12/5/2009 8:37:20 PM) comp.os.plan9 I ordered an openrd-client from globalscale and it arrived within a few days. It's the same SoC (Kirkwood) as the Sheevaplug, but more (perhaps all) of the connectors are made available, plus vga output for ... geoff

[9fans] SSHv2 and scp 1 17 (4/3/2012 3:48:05 AM) comp.os.plan9 scp seems a bit unhappy with the new ssh as well. Single file copies = work in both directions, and copying multiple files to plan9 works, but = copying multiple files from plan9 to remote unix systems barfs: ... lyndon (453)
