Oh hells, I’m just drawing up a cape for an old 2GB BBB for my second DECbox
project but this might be a better use for it and I can get a PocketBeagle to
use on the DECbox instead.
For those that may not have heard of it, DECbox is a BBB-based emulator that
fits inside a VT100 and using simh will emulate your favourite anything that
uses a serial terminal.

That’s my first one, the 2nd one will go inside one of my VT220s, or even a 240.
