Hello,

I plan to fix a Rapsberry Pi Zero W and connector fasteners under an USB Keyboard to rebuild a computer in the spirit of early eighties. This can be done with some plastic 3D printed parts and a customized OS like Rapbian Lite with no graphical desktop to get an small computer that connects to a TV, gets network via WiFi, allows to learn programming with Euphoria and can play some opensource games without needing much power. That makes sense to young seniors like me who collect old computers (TRS-80, TI 99/4, Amstrad, Oric, and so on.

Some Euphoria-based command-line utilities could help mask complexity of Linux to users, like network configuration. As a Pi Zero W also has GPIO inputs/outputs, it could drive some domestic extensions or whatever else to please children. I hope to get something ready for the summer holidays.

Any thoughts about that?

Regards

Jean-Marc
