If it isn't fun and easy to do we shoudn't do it.

I'd settle for fun and hard.

When I saw the uCsimm project, I immediately thought about a parallel project to utilize the uCsimm, where you'd have an open experimentation platform based on the uCsimm pinout. Any other SIMM-based project that used the new "standard" could reuse the board for keyboard/power/serial/ethernet/etc. making the barriers to experimentation that much lower.

Which is also where I started thinking about the Pocket Mac Classic. An open-platform PDA where you could change it's nature by replacing a SIMM, but reuse the chicklet keys and low-res screen, etc. So, if you'd rather have a Pocket C-64, Pocket Apple II or Pocket Sinclair, voila. And the companies who can afford to do more, there's always the XScale/WinCE SIMM, PalmOS SIMM, etc.
