 unlikely but i'm not ruling it out.  the lack of SATA means an extra
$2.50 in parts (USB hub + USB-to-SATA) so it had better be under $3,
preferably $2.50, to make it a commercially viable option (*2)

 the project isn't just about the A10, it's about EOMA i.e. SoCs
*plural*.  that's why i am beginning to insist on some structure,
because without any structure things would quickly become absolute
hell.

 my associates are presently in china and will be meeting with *six*
SoC vendors including allwinnertech over the next 7 to 10 days.  one
of those i know has already agreed to work according to the same
freedom-respecting principles that allwinnertech honours (*1)

l.

(*1) but this other company's SoC will be out much later in the year.

(*2) the F20 has only one USB - USB-OTG.
