Yes Luke has a list somewhere for devs who want early access on his site.
Correct. I'm going to save you the time to search the vast archive of the arm-netbook mailing list:
Thank you very much!

i'm just talking to my host, here in taiwan, to use his equipment to get 50 boards made up. i'll also get some RS232-UARTs and some micro-desktops made as well... or perhaps some breakout boards and the OTG-Host cables, have to see.
any takers please put alias down here so i get a quick idea of numbers http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ "
This looks very promising. I need to ask a couple more questions:
Could parabola as a whole go into that list, with a to-be-determined number of cards, or would we need to name the individual hackers?
We have at least three people working on the arm port, maybe more. Would asking for ~5 cards still be in the right ballpark?
Would the prototypes be lent to us? donated? sold?
Is there an ETA?
Best, -Andreas
