I thought Soekris had decided to go with the weaker requirement, the
one that still permitted tin/lead solder.  That's what I recall from
the list discussion, and it's what I find on
http://www.soekris.com/Compliance.htm (the "RoHS & CE" link from
http://www.soekris.com/).

Yes - or, rather, there historically has been at least one (Soren,
presumably the Soren Kristensen I see named in
http://www.soekris.com/about.htm), and I see no reason why that would
have changed.  But if they really have decided to go the lead-free
route, I suspect everyone is way over-busy with bringing themselves
into compliance - and quite possibly they are even if they really are
going with just RoHS-5.
