 disappointed when they told me they'd stopped making it.  why?
 because the M150 has 128mb of DDR2 RAM *on board* the same 11x11mm
 package, as a Multi-Chip-Module.

 Hmm... this reminded me of Next Thing Co.'s GR8 processor. It has a 14x14mm
 package with 256mb ram built in. I'm not sure they meet the libre
 requirements

  http://linux-sunxi.org/R8 - the A13's been reverse-engineered for a
looong time.

 but it is worth a look (if you haven't seen it already):

 i was aware of it but hadn't investigated it after hearing ridiculous
things about pricing.  the GR8 seems to be reasonable: $6.  that's
still quite high but it removes a lot of the hassle.

 just found the ORCAD design files so... yyyeah.... that looks doable.
thank you louis.
