The Z2 has an MMU'd ARM chip and 32MB of RAM... which actually makes it more powerful (aside from FPU) than the computer I had when I worked on ELKS in the first place. :) In fact, it's quite a bit like a Ben Nanonote, but much less open and with wifi. - Chad, who thinks something ELKS-like on larger Cortex M3 microcontrollers someday'd be cool.
