My first LK201 emulation was on a BeagleBone Black. That works fine with limitations.
The Linux keyboard device driver imposes its own set of machinery between the actual
keyboard and the program (even in "raw" mode), for example doing autorepeat.
I'll make that code available too for anyone who wants it.

A long term dream of mine is to build some sort
of general-purpose box
that can make connections to arbitrary vintage computer
keyboard/mouse/video ports, and connect in to modern HDMI & USB
peripherals to make it easier to just pull a machine off the shelf and
get going.
I'm kind of moving in this direction a tiny bit. I have a set of
software emulators that I install on Raspberry Pis. My idea is that
they should boot straight into the emulator and connect to a host
computer over the network.
