I think if I was in need of a portable vt100 terminal I’d use either my Raspad
(https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/35410622/raspad-raspberry-pi-tablet-for-your-creative-proje/posts)
for full out Geek mode or (far more reliable) a small Chromebook as long as I
can get a serial to USB adapter to work. Chromebooks have long battery life and
are reasonably cheap. Also come in various sizes (my current one is a 15” as I
need a large screen to see things…).
