Hope someone build one USB rom emualator for openmarket.
What is the minimum useful size? Would 2Mbit be enough? Can anyone suggest a reasonable target price?
I'd say 16 Mbit, but that's just my dream of everything-in-BIOS. But IMO 4 Mbit are really the minimum.
Target price... something below 50 Euros would be nice, but I don't know whether that can be achieved.
A USB micro, SRAM and some mux chips is really all that's needed. Maybe even use flash in the emulator. But to have an upgrade path and best configurability would probably require a PLD.
What if you create something like an USB programmable BIOS saviour instead? That should fit most requirements AFACIS.
