This looks promising: a $100 ($50 in volume) 5 Watt computer.
1.2GHz CPU, 512MB each of RAM and Flash
Marvell 88F6281 "Kirkwood" SoC
gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 ports
Looks like the SoC also has a 2nd Ethernet port, 2 SATA parts,
PCIe and other stuff that isn't brought out for some reason.

Anyone have an idea how much work it would take to get
BSD running on this thing? Get the 2nd Ethernet working
and have a 5 Watt firewall for personal and SOHO use.
(Obviously you aren't going to run a Fortune-500 company
through this thing.) Or use it as a USB device server.
Bring the SATA ports out and make a small NAS. And so on.
Unfortunately I don't see firewire listed. :-(
What would be firewire good for?
