See http://www.realweasel.com/ for one such vendor.  Pricing is
available only by request, but check this out:

"The PC Weasel distinguishes itself even further by being an open-source
product. Every purchaser receives a source license for the Weasel's
onboard microcontroller code. If you don't like some aspect of the
board's behaviour as shipped by us, you're free to modify it using a
gcc-based toolchain. The code store is flash memory that can be written
without special equipment, and there's a second serial port provided for
debugging."
