I'm looking at using Moltorola's MPC823 or better yet MPC750.  MPC823 is
 based on the old 603PPC, whereas the MPC7XX series is based on the new
G4 with Altivec.  We hope to network these internet style using uCLinux
or LinuxCE in a product similar to uCsimm (http://www.uclinux.org/simm/)
except using fiber channel (w/ fiber optics BTW) and with more PCB room.

We hope to have a several megabytes to work with.

Thanks

Les
