I wasn't considering a modification of an ARM design, I was thinking more of different processors. My preference (and cost limitations) as well as what I already have software for, point me to other processors. If I were to use ARM processors ( a possibility), I'd be working with a pre-made board of some sort, due to manufacturing difficulties.
