Willard,
I've got a growing collection of Raspberry Pi units (two RPi "B"
models, one RPi "B 2" model, one RPi "B 3" model). I'm currently using
the two RPi "B" models on my Broadband-Hamnet MESH network, and haven't
built the other two yet. Got to say, I love them! They cost a bit more
than your CHIP card, but hey, I've already paid for them ;)
I've been thinking about attaching my RPi "B 3" unit to an LCD
monitor, and make a stand-alone computer unit out of it. I should
probably see if I can get Mono installed (via apt) and run laddiealpha.

So, I was given a CHIP (getchip.com) and I've been playing with it...
CHIP is a credit-card sized computer with an ARM CPU, 512M RAM(?) and
4GB of flash. For $9...
Anyway after much apt-get I have a mostly reasonable dev system and I
compiled dlplus on it. With an FTDI usb-to-rs232 adapter it worked fine!
(I know, I know, laddiealpha. Mono is going to take me *at least* all
night to download. I'll get to it!)
Admittedly the USB route isn't the greatest for a portable setup, but
CHIP also has 3V UART I/O pins that would only require a
level-converter...
