Love to see those.

Looks like a neat design.  I always wanted to homebrew a wearable around a
small embedded 386/486 which would run Linux to provide a programmable
interface to a small army of DSPs. :)  I'd get mail and all that as well
as high speed, hard real-time Real-World signal processing.  But I got a
NetWinder...so all I have to do is to get some DSPs plugged into it and I'm
rolling...

As much as commercial solutions are good, homebrewing has advantages...has
anyone else homebrewed (if only on paper) something neat?
