Well, once you are on a MC683xx it's only a small step to a MPC8xx;
on a size smaller than half a credit card (to be precise: 54x44 mm�)
you can get an embedded PowerPC CPU (with MMU, of course), up to 64
MB of RAM, 8 MB of FLASH, serial ports, parallel port, Ethernet, LCD
controller, and USB and CAN bus interfaces. And of course it runs
Linux. See http://www.tqc.de/HTM_Files/TQM8xx_Serie.htm for the HW,
http://www.denx.de/solutions-en.html for the SW.
And there are other, similar systems as well, for instance the RPX
(Lite, Classic) and others.
Well, that's not strictly low-cost. But it's a lot of power for the
money and the size.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
