We designed one using a PIC and 1MB of memory. It uses a USB interface for
programming and has an LCD display. It was/is not finished because it was
a bit of fun for a security course[0] and is now on the shelf as it were -
but you are welcome to assist in getting it finished.

[0] Scarily I am graduate now so I will use the past tense -
the course involved setting up some "secure hosts" and playing hide and go
crack - we had a box with grsec/uml/honeynet/crypto/etc. etc. and after
going way OTT I started hacking on an el cheapo RSA SecureID clone idea...
