While I'm selling most of my Acorn 215s I plan to keep two to play around with.
I'm interested in having it run Linux and the PCIe run as a root so I can plug a GPU into it.
Also interested in seeing whether it can accelerate some Hive node functions.
.
Running Linux and accelerating Hive node are different projects. Hive node acceleration would be specialised FPGA code.
will be doing some research on this, may be interested...
is shipping worldwide?
Yes.
ok i will try
Contact me on Telegram @akivah or Discord @apshamilton if you want to purchase. Or send a me an encrypted message on Hive (by sending 0.01 Hive) with your shipping details. I accept payment in Hive or HBD obviously.
ok;got it 😉
