It's the only thing I use my SAM for, and very convenient it is too. A real wated opportunity, if you ask me. Tweak the BASIC ROM to accept input from a PC keyboard, modify the DOS (and hold it in ROM) to read/write an EEPROM, add a PIO, and a serial interface to back-up files to a PC, and hey bingo: a perfect tinkerer's machine.
