Alexander,

Thanks - this one looks very promising.  I like the fact it is 
completely open source, including board layouts and schematics.  It will 
make it much easier for my client to integrate the system, should they 
decide to put everything on one board (I don't know what their engineers 
are thinking - but I like it, anyway :) ).

I'll have to dig further to see if QEMU will run it, though.

Thanks again,
Jerry
