Just for the hell of it, I made some inquiries of Mr Dornier at
pcengines.com and he could build a unit with PCMCIA slot, 64MB RAM, an empty
SODIMM slot for RAM expansion capability, and boot off CF slot,  price would
come in at around $90 in quantity...  to that cost you'd have to add a case
to put the board into, the power transformer, and the wifi radio and CF card
(for mass production, a cheapo wifi radio could be had for around $8 I would
think, but the serious user would want to upgrade that to something better
I'm sure)
