It seems like this would be a good thing... One could start with a software
compression scheme and incorporate it in an OS release. By adding one of
the existing processors that can be used for compression and some driver
software, someone with more bucks could get the compression done faster.
The processor may be located on a multi-purpose board with extra serial
ports, or whatever (Video WaffleIron?).

Anything wrong with it?
