I too got mine from tekmote - about 3 years ago. (I remember because I got the package when my first daughter was born and we where at the hospital, first thing I did 10 minutes after opening up the laptop was to brick the OS so that I could not use it until we got home a week later).

but it seems there are no more there.

The "de facto" place to get them used to be Tekmote Electronics <http://www.tekmote.nl/> (where I got mine), but that site shut down a few months ago with no clear explanation. kd85 <https://encrypted.kd85.com/lemote.html> also used to sell them but he seems to be out of stock as well. Freedom Included <http://www.freedomincluded.com/> also no longer sells them to the public, but they do claim to have a few extra units that they will only give to people working on operating systems for mipsel (like, say, gNS!)

If you plan on contributing to gNS I'd say it's worth asking them, but that notice is from 2012 so they may no longer have many left.

I tried to get in touch with the owner of Tekmote, Eileen Zhang, about the site's disappearance a few weeks ago but I could not find any working contact information. Does anyone know her contact information / any other place to get a Yeeloong, not just in the US but anywhere for that matter?
