I'm watching the J-Core project, which has resurrected the Hitachi
SuperH SH3/SH4 architecture as the patents expire, and should have a
fully fleshed 64-bit RISC system out in a couple of years. At that
point, you'll have reasonably modern, general-purpose computing with no
blackbox hardware/firmware/software subsystems whatsoever.
