The guy who made the original post said he'd like to see it done to a
PALMTOP, though. We're talking about something 1/4 the size of a GS
motherboard. You'd probably have to start with just a GS cpu chip, and work
around it from there. A lot of the features from the GS wouldn't be needed -
MIDI and rgb monitor, for example, but otherwise the motherboard would have
to be built from scratch.
