@ Jim
The most promising processors for a new ppc computer that is small, low cost, low power and has decent power for a single core non 64-Bit OS like MorphOS are the Freesacle 8610 and 8640.
For the 8610 there exists a development platform by NEC, the redtail. Unfortunately there's little information about that board to get on the net (and the little that is there is in Japanese).
Genesi have put their plans of a 8610 based board/netbook on hold, but I still guess a cooperation between the NEC redtail folks and Genesi/bplan could lead to soemthing fruitful.
I guess we're not in a particular hurry anyway, trains have left the staion aeons ago....
