You mean like this?
Low cost 200MHz ARM single board computer, LAN, USB, UARTs, D-IO, A/D,
D/A, from $65.

    * 200MHz ARM 9 processor 100MHz system bus. 32-64MB SDRAM,4-32MB FLASH
    * 10/100 baseT Ethernet
    * 2 USB 2.0 port
    * 2 UARTs
    * A/D converter
    * D/A converter
    * Digital I/O
    * SPI expansion
