Good Idea, but as a commercial product very limited. As a hobby type project it could fun.
I have another idea, I was wondering if you got one of the Xilinx chips with a built in PPC, could you make a very small computer capable of running OS4 ?
The minimum of I/O, PS2 keyboard/mouse, VGA video connector, USB, all done by the FPGA. Use a Compact Flash card as a HDD. Very small, no noise, and should be fast enough to useful.
There are FPGA packages for the VGA type video, the PS2 keyboard/mouse is simple, I couldn't find a USB implementation for a FPGA (but it should be doable).
Comments!
An open source OS4 compatable computer would be nice.
Would probably need to pay a lincese fee for the OS4 though.
