This bit doesn't deal with the M100, but... this board looks small enough to fit inside an old-fashioned (big) pocket watch case. If one could put a decent display on it, and maybe a very thin membrane keyboard in the watch's lid, it would make a very cool steampunk pocket computer. I can't

You make a good point. Though I find I am usually going against the norm … I really can't stand Arduino for instance and in fact prefer to write my own soft processors on FPGAs (when I have the time). I wrote a Risc8 processor back in 1997 on an Altera 10K20 FPGA complete with an assembler and

I backed the kickstarter a few days ago. I'll experiment when the device comes in. Built in bluetooth means that, with a working BlueM, the device wouldn't ever need to touch the m100. You could throw some batteries at it, and keep the chip in your pocket. The hp-LX guys have been ogling this as

ZDnet had this article on this tiny successor (cousin?) to the Raspberry PI. I couldn't help but wonder how it could be interfaced to the M100 to enhance the M100s capabilities. Even if the M10x/200 ended up only being a terminal into the device. I picture a small (3d printed?) plastic box the
