*nothing* is too big when you've got a cablemodem and can DL 100-300Kbytes/sec :-)
There's only one way it's gonna be done and that's through an FPGA. It would be impossible to make a true custom chip since the required quantities are pretty low.
I think an FPGA is a pretty good "fit" for this, and would work well.
Unfortunately, my FPGA dev package is good only for up to 10K gate chips so I won't be able to integrate anything but the TIA, RIOT, and bankswitching stuff. I can't afford the $5000 to upgrade it :-P. (I'm using Xilinx Foundation, less than 8K gates version.)
