Hi Andy,
we did it the way you described, but with a 6.270 board (little brother of
handy-board).
We earned performance on 6.270 with it, because the only thing we had to do
is to parse the string received from serial port.
We attached a little board with a Mikrocontroller Atmel 90S8515.
To this little board we attached a Garmin GPS 12, a compass V2X, a polariod
ultra sonic and shaft encoders.It also served the servo used with ultra sonic.
Our only problem was that the string we received wasn't okay all the time,
so we had to check it for errors and cancle some of these strings. We don't
know where this problem comes from, but I guess it's a problem with the
Atmel. It's programmed using assembler and had a lot to do.
If interested take a look at :

It's only available in german at the moment, but i'll translate it the next
days. (And add some stuff)
