I also have an unassembled PockeTerm. I was thinking of powering both

using the KVM for a session switch. ;-)
I was planning on getting a PocketTerm for my SBC6120 when I found out
about the VT6. Can you perhaps higlight some of the pros and cons with
the two different boards ?
I will probably make a custom version of the PocketTerm though, the
propeller chip looks kind of neat. My hopes is that I will be able to
interface it with the SBC6120 expansion port to simulate a front panel
(drawn on a VGA output), since I couldn't afford a real FP6120.
Honestly, I'm not sure I have the necessary skill to pull this of, but
it feels like fun challenge.
