 awww, darn.  it also needs DDR2 RAM (for storing the graphics data
received over the USB bus).  in other words it's very similar to what
DisplayLink have, although i don't know the details (PCB layout etc)
of how DisplayLink do their stuff i.e. i don't know if they have
on-board RAM on their ICs.

 sooo... unfortunately, although at first glance it looks great, and
absolutely fascinating, in reality it's no more than a standard
embedded processor, where they happen to have cut the number of pins
right back and put some software pre-loaded in it.

awww :)
