Since you're looking for an SBC, I suppose that you're wanting to build
it into something and so my suggestion won't be of any help.  But all
the same, have you looked at the Amiga 500?  With a megabyte you're
probably looking at a bit more than $600, but you will also have a
complete development system.  I see that you're involved with music.  If
by chance you're wanting this SBC for a musical application, again you
might want to look at the Amiga.  JForth is an excellent environment (an
Amiga running JForth was used to win the "World's Fastest Programmer"
contest last year).  With JForth you can also get HMSL (Hierarchical
Music Specification Language, I think).  Only problem is, the Amiga
isn't a single-board computer.
