Whilst I'm on the list....

I hope no-one is offended by the idea of using the Model 200 shell and keyboard as a housing for more modern components. I thought about this for the Model 100/102 but the aspect ratio of the screen does not lend itself to finding a modern equivalent.

I have found a 7" TFT screen that will fit within the existing bezel of the Model 200 and would be looking to install a raspberry pi with an arduino providing the conversion between keyboard and USB.

Has anyone tried this before? I haven't come across anything on the net (so far). Would be interested in people's thoughts.

BTW - this came up on the Retrocomputing Rountable Podcast in a recent episode (http://rcrpodcast.com/)

Thought if you hadn't seen it might be of interest.

Regards, Mark.
