The 9g20u is really small only 2.5" x 2.5".  It supports USB for sure, =
and GPIO I think (need to double check: the drivers are there don't know =
if they are wired to userland).  I have the larger 9g20 that's 3.75x3.5 =
inches. It is USB 1 speeds through. The g45 has USB2 speed ports.

If you don't need ethernet, there's a number of systems based on the =
AT91SAM9RL, but I have no air miles on them since they don't have =
ethernet.

I believe so on the g20.  Less sure what the state is on the g45 since I =
just got mine recently.
