I'm afraid I side with Aley.  I wouldn't say it's impossible, or even that
hard, if you know what you're doing, but there are loads of drawbacks.

People who want to use the SAM in its own box don't need Ethernet etc etc.
They want a cheap copy of the SAM, no Rage, no 600MHz (what would the point
be with all that power?).  I haven't got £400 to spend on another SAM, even
though my real one must eventually pack in (see later).  I have no need for
a DVD on my SAM, though I'm sure B-Dos could support it.  People have been
trying to put SAM in a PC box for years, and it's complicated.

So Aley, this is just as naive, but what was that about using the 32K Rom
for OS, C compiler etc?  Is it implausible if you used an EPROM?

PS Is Len Bennet there?  Do you fix SAM mice?  My interface has a dodgy
lead.
