We (Wasabi Systems) have thought about it a few times, but it is
becoming so cheap to have an MMU in a system that we're not sure it is
worth the effort. Were enough people interested (especially, I hate to
put it this way, paying customers -- we do have to eat) we might be
willing to give it a go. However, we haven't had much serious interest
and (as I've said) as hardware costs for MMUs fall it becomes less and
less interesting as projects go.
