:)  If the Kestrel-2DX is any indication, that'd be enough to store
the entire computer on a single chip with some room to spare.  Things
might get tight only after upgrading the CPU to a larger, more capable
processor more suitable for running Linux.

I saw that, looks pretty interesting overall.  It does seem a bit I/O
limited, but I did consider the possibility of building a homebrew
computer out of these modules as if they were "chips" as you'd find
them in older computers.  (E.g,. here's the video "chip", the audio
"chip", etc.).
