Indeed. For $35, the Raspberry Pi gives you a 3.3V
serial port (just
add one chip to do level shifting), plenty of local file store for
disk or tape images, and enough I/O lines to implement an
LCD/push-button interface.
Boring!
An old PC gives you a V.24 serial port, a printer port for your buttons, and
real media. For free.
Yep, but building a solution around a Raspberry Pi is
a lot cheaper
than rolling your own board.
Yo have to make own boards in any way. Or do
"Gebastel". I make boards even If I
don't have to - I love making boards. My first two Omni-USB prototypes are
completely home made.

This thread started with a "serial board" for the PDP8. Which can - of
course -
connected to any PC/pie/bone computer.
Serial ports and PDP-8s and Kermit certainly go well
together.
Did I mention that the Omnibus-USB board works flawlessly with Kermit? I
think I
forgot that.
