Maybe a S3 based card is shooting a bit low.  If I'm going to hand-assemble
a card, it might as well be worth my while.

How about designing a card with one of TI's chips?  34010 or 34020?
(Those part numbers don't look quite right, but anyway)

Getting a card up and working with a 34020 would be a real thrill,
since these cards cost $$$$.

David

PS.  I have no idea how much a 34020 costs.  Anyone know?
