Never thought about adding this to the handy board, but I have thought
of building a computer around the PowerPC that was handyboard like
(self contained, motor drivers, LCD, memory, expansion, but add *LOTS*
of IO, interrupts, and memory).
Yup, doesn't need to be a screamer (250MHz), but should be pretty
quick, and be programmable by sloppy programmers, and maybe carry an
OS (horror).
Dunno though, might be cheaper to get a commercial PowerPC CPU board,
and use the PCI bus for the IO. Plus it is all debugged, and all.
