It occurs to me to also mention cost: a JUMPtec DIMM PC module is
$420 when purchased from EMJ (no idea what their markup is), whereas
a 233 MHz CardPC from Cellular Computing is I believe less than twice
than that.  This makes the JUMPtec solution prohibitively expensive.
A volume purchase could of course change this ratio.
