Raspberry Pi's are like potato chips... nobody can have just one ;)

really are lovely little boards.

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 <http://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...
