Mark,
I am certainly not offended! I think your idea is terrific. Ought to be fun,
too. Please report your progress as I have a RPi and various Arduinos that I
would like to apply similarly.

Subject: [M100] Replacing the internal in a Model 200
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.
