FWIW, if anybody wants a giggle, it is the MPman MP4Fiesta, reviewed at:

   (though in comparison to the Zen, my review isn't nearly scathing
    enough...)

The CPU/DSP is an AK1025 which is a clone of the ATJ2091. The datasheet 
of the 2091 is at : 
http://www.s1mp3.org/files/datasheets/ATJ2091/ATJ2091N%20Datasheet%20V1.1.pdf


There are lots of designs for 6502 cores on FPGAs and the like, but how 
many of these devices are likely to be in the average household? Ideas?


Best wishes,

Rick.
