Wow, people are really running wild with this.  I know our ASIC guys
mentioned the sysad bus had a fairly funky protocol on the 5231.  I'd
be pretty surprised if they had anything in common.  You'd probably
have about as much luck trying to make a playstation into a daughtercard.

If you want a 52xx based system, the cheapest thing out there is
probably the WebTV boxes. . .  the Echostar/WebTV dishplayer has
a pretty nice subsidy attached to it.
