I think so. A nice beefed up desktop model SuperGS and then maybe a nice
little
portable 8-bit machine, like somene else suggested, for maybe $400 or so.

How many of those things exist?  The LC-IIe cards?  What about designing
a 
portable machine that would utilise the LC card as its brain?  Buy the
computer,
get a card from SUN or somewhere and plug it in... I mean, hey, if its a
IIe
on a card, then wouldn't that solve some design problems?
