If CHIP supports USB host, then it might.

Sure. I was just hoping that the CHIP had a 5v boost regulator that
could spare 65mA :)

Find a 3.3 l-ion that will fit in the AA area and then put a ramp
circuit to raise it up to the needed 6 volts. That could work
couldn't it?
That would involve not having it connected to the AA connections
but only the output of the ramp circuit connected to the leads for
the M100.
It sounds like a lot of work but it would be a fun project.

For me, the biggest consideration is that the M100 still be
completely and independently functional. Still has great
battery life, instant-on and a great keyboard.
It's not clear to be from the CHIP docs on a quick glance, but
I wonder if the CHIP could actually be used to provide the +5v
supply for the entire M100. It just has to spare less than
100mA from it's internal power supply and suddenly you get a
rechargeable supply for the M100 as a bonus. Only works if the
CHIP has a 5v rail though, and I can't tell that it does. The
power management chip only appears to have 3.3v. :-/

It somehow does not appeal to me to stick a thing like

and just use the gutted shell of a m100 for it's screen

hackable system roms and all the switchable ram banks in
the world... but what would be the point? Might as well
just use a pc.
But it's literally not possible to get say tcp/ip without
the network module having essentially it's own computer
inside that is more than the entire m100, so I guess it's
unavoidable to have "peripherals" that are actually more
powerful than the "host".

It has an onbord charge controler for an optional
lithem battery it could either be powered by
connecting the power input to the input for the M-100
being that they are almost the same power thus being
able to charge the chip battery from the normal M-100
power supply, with maybe only a small isolator circuit
ie a diode. Or one could place an additonal connector
in the side of the M-100 for this.

How will you power the chip if you put it internal?

I just ordered a PocketCHIP (CHIP in a
small case with battery, keyboard
and its own LCD screen). I figure, plug in
a USB->RS232 adapter and job done!
Myself I'm not chopping up the Model 100,
even to replace the 300baud
modem with something more useful. :-)
