It's funny.

  If I remember right the only pins that aren't really exposed on the  
teensy++ are the xmem interface control lines.
You can easily add up to 64k of native xmem (more if you bank them) to  
that olimex board I gave you a while back.
I don't know what data rates you can get with the sd cards but they  
are cheap and easy to interface.

Don.
