I have that machine! Specifically mine is the version with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite. It can run VirtualT OK too, though I need to fix some memory corruption or API incompatibity that currently renders FLTK file dialogs unusable. The optional cash register thermal printer mode is a nice Epon-ish touch, and of course the screen is lovely though it could really stand to have a protective layer of hard plastic in front. The gamepad arrows are very reminiscent of PC-8201 though positioned differently. The keyboard is nowhere near as typeable as the Model T's, unfortunately. The whole device is only half the area of a Model 100!
Unfortunately being Pi-based it doesn't have any concept of low-power sleep or suspend mode, but on the other hand it does have a microsd card for persistent storage, and it boots in less than ten seconds. The WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, and HDMI connectivity feel very fancy after using a device with just serial connectivity On Sat, Dec 4, 2021, 13:17 Earl Baugh <[email protected]> wrote: > Saw this and found it an interesting look-a-like : > > > https://www.hackster.io/news/clockwork-pi-devterm-review-hands-on-with-the-ultra-compact-trs-80-inspired-kit-computer-b5a73acbaefd?mc_cid=142fb5fc81&mc_eid=39010d1c63 > > Earl > > Sent from my iPhone >
