 a standard 12v dc power supply with a 5.5mm pin-positive jack,
usb-otg and micro hdmi cables, and a vga monitor.

 the main thing i need from people before i send them $300 to $350
worth of equipment is a 100% committment that they'll be doing active
development of some kind which helps the other backers directly or
indirectly, or helps further the goals of the eoma68 project.

 u-boot development, kernel development, os preparation, packaging,
upstreaming - anything like that.
