I mean, I've used Raspberry Pis for lots of things, but how would it come in handy for testing software for Tandy hardware? I guess I could run DOSBox on it, but I can do that on my regular PC, so I don't see the point. I'm also a retro hardware enthusiast, and emulation to me is just for casuals who want software to "just work". I'm after the authentic experience, not "close enough". Happy Hacking, David E.
