[MinnowBoard] mSATA Lure (aka Flotsam Lure)

[Jeremy Hoel]

So if SeaCat is $45..  and you keep the mSata, and instead of the mPCIe
port, toss on a nic chip, or two or four, or whatever..   plus the ports.
I would think something topping out in the $60-$75 makes sense; not knowing
the cost of the nic ports or the controller chip.  the PCIe bus could
handle that with no issues and if they are gig ports, you could do a lot
with 4 of them on there.  I think it might be hard to fit mSata, mPCIe AND
some ports on the same lure, but there are options.
