More flash for IBM 405GP Walnut?

Unlike with Spruce and other trees, IBM hosed the PPC 405GP Walnut board by
only giving it 512 Kbytes of Flash.
Does anyone know of a source for a PCI Bus target board that contains linear
flash?  (i.e. not a card that emulates an IDE/ATA disk drive)

If there are none, and I or my employer developed a flash memory card that
plugged into the Walnut's 200-pin proprietary expansion connector, J36, how
many of you would want any?  If interested, email me:
- qty desired
- preferred flash memory width (8/16/32 bits), depth, and sector size (256
  bytes SST or 64 Kbytes everyone else)
- price sensitivity (my goal would be to amortize development, not get rich)

While I have no interest in a memory card that fits that connector I would be
very interested to get a converter from that connector to a PCMCIA 68pin
connector. Then I could use any linear flash card on the market. It dose not
have to support anything in the pcmcia(cardbus) standard other than whats
needed to support linear flash so its only some wires and two connectors
needed.
