Clockwork Pi sells an interesting device; it's a case and display for a Pi computing module with USB, SD card slot, Wifi, and a trackpoint-style
pointing device, styled to look like a 2/3s scale TRS-80 model 100. The
screen is double VGA, and it comes with a built-in thermal printer!

There's a Virtual T mode that lets you emulate a real TRS-80.

I'm in. When coffee shops open up again, I want to pull this thing out and start working.

Dude I love this project and hadn't heard of it before. I did see another wide-screen portable one but it was like $450 and a bit bigger. Both very nice - Only up to 4GB tho... wish they had an 8GB option.

And I can't figure out if the CM4 is included or not. Anyway, I like this one and will follow it. I super like the wide-screens that have become a bit easier to order and get - and I like the idea of a portable computer like this.

The looks put it above other options. w00h00!

Dude I love this project and hadn't heard of it before.

I saw this a while back when it was still in its planning stage. It caught my eye because I'm somewhat of a TRS-80 Model 100 fan and the form factor is about the same.

And I can't figure out if the CM4 is included or not. Anyway, I like
this one and will follow it. I super like the wide-screens that have become a bit easier to order and get - and I like the idea of a

I'll find out (hopefully) next month since I pre-ordered one.

I believe that it does come with it. I think you need to get the assemble-it-yourself version for one without a CM.

Ok, awesome that you ordered it - please do post here when you recieve. I'm interested in what you think... all those people are designing different (gosh, what do they call em...) mobile/wearable Pi computers - this one is perfect and sytlish IMO. :P

It seems perfect. We'll see. The main reason I'm attracted to it is because of the TRS-80 Model 100 form factor. The Model 100/102 were so popular with certain groups that they were supported well into the MS-DOS era. It took laptops a long time to reach that level of usefulness.

I've tried out a few kinds of these. Right now I have a RasPad which works out very nice. I've done some "hardware mods" with mounting a EnviroPhat on the case to measure heat, light, etc. and I mounted a 2 line LCD display for a nice extra read out. Just a few more mods and it should look like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie. 8)

Very neat. :P I love when ppl modify things and I'm a super big fan of those super-widescreen monitors like the one that project has. They just kinda started showing up a TON more a few months ago. I dig em. Its like you get 3 640x480 screens to use; altho its not the nicest on the eyes, its LIKE having 3 monitors/work areas....

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about it when you recieve. Jelly....
