ShaRPiKeebo pocket Linux computer will start shipping soon (3 years after crowdfunding)
The ShaRPiKeebo is a pocked-sized computer kit that features a custom PCB with a 2.7 inch sunlight-readable display, a 56-key thumb keyboard plus D-Pad buttons, and a LoRa radio for long-range wireless communication. It’s designed for use with a Raspberry Pi Zero W or Zero 2W. So while you’ll need to provide your own Raspberry Pi, the kit gives you the flexibility of picking your processor, […]

This modular Linux device is an open source handheld with a 4.1 inch display
A small team of developers is building a pocket-sized, modular computer with a 4.1 inch, 1080 x 480 pixel touchscreen display, an an STM32MP157 dual-core Arm Cortex-A7 processor, and 4GB of DDR3 memory.
At a time when high-end smartphones have the kind of processing power you’d expect from a decent laptop, the the “Linux Platform Kit” may not be the most powerful device you can fit in your […]

I'm pondering design for a super minimal #pocketComputer, not a phone replacement but rather a device tailored to do only what's useful to me not distracting, basically what do i need on an average day out when i don't want to be stuck in my phone?
Ideally i could make this modifiable in a way that anyone could tailor it to their own needs and make one, so:
If you had to choose 4 essential features to leave your phone at home, what would they be?
There's an ebay guy that sells scans of technical manuals. He had the PC4 Sevice Manual. So I got a copy.
Not a lot to the manual, these things weren't really going to be repairable with 198X equipment.
This manual also covers the matching cassette interface, though, and I was interested in that.
Hoped the interface was just some caps and resistors, but nope there's a whole IO chip in there. Outputs Kansas City format tape!
