Fun to tinker with is the lifeblood of the Model T hobby. I am sure there are
many using it as a writing tool or in some data gathering/control application,
but I suspect the fun is in the tinkering.

As my family in England might say, they're "cheap as chips", too!I may look
into a CHIP myself to add to my Model 100. I don't have a pressing need to do
so, but it might be fun to tinker with...On May 13, 2016 8:20 AM, "Howard

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...
