It sounds nice.  Is the current pricing still competitive with other people's
embedded boards.  

Does anyone know about similar other hi-performance embedded board.  I saw
in the magazine "Electronic Products" that there's a MIPS based embedded
board w/ 1 megabyte of RAM available for less than $700.  It sounds really
neat.  Any thoughts?
