I can post one of them as well if you want ;D
As for cost, this is ultimately for something being sold as part of a bigger system, so the hardware needs to be FCC/CE approved and available in quantity. At that point the shipping cost becomes less of an issue.
The eBox looks interesting as an alternative, although now I appear to have a bootable SX kernel, I'll probably stick with the original unit. It does help to have a plan B in case purchasing have problems though.

It runs TC V2 and V3.

I did some research. The eBox is the same as the NorhTec MicroClient. They both get their systems from DMP Electronics. WDL Systems (North Carolina) is a distributor of the eBox. It looks perfect for Tiny Core.

I got my eBox-2300 from WDL.
Everything in the unit works fine under TC and MC.
The eBox-3300 looks good, but it uses a non standard CF controller, so you cannot access the Compact Flash.

I now have a target system. Unfortunately it doesn't boot the code that was built from the above config. It loads the kernel and initrd OK, unpacks the kernel and then hangs.
I need a smiley with a thinking cap.
