### Hardware Questions

#### Are there evaluation cards available outside of Japan/with non-Japanese documents?

We have [listed couple of eval cards](./) we know of. If you have any
additions, please submit them to the <mailto:port-sh3@NetBSD.org>
mailing list. Unfortunately we have information for Japanese evaluation
cards only.

If you are outside of Japan, the best place you could contact is your
local Hitachi office (like Hitachi US, Hitachi UK, whatever). They
should have evaluation boards to sell to customers (since they would
like to sell the SH3/4 chips), possibly with localized documents.

Among Japanese products, mmEye and Dreamcast are available outside of
Japan.
