I'm now wondering about building something like a

Be careful. The "native" resolution of the vt340 is 800x480 in 4:3
format ...
So I would use an 15" 4K display at the RBpi, and scale up...
Imagine a Tekronox Emulation on a 4K display ;-)
in a custom case that's stylaized after
the VT340 (?) case, all be it abbreviated so that it's much shallower.
I'd probably simply run a full screen XTerm without any window manager.
(I might have a different way to start with a window manager and
traditional GUI.)
I could support serial, but if I'm using an SBC,
why not use Ethernet
(or even WiFI)???
I would love to see REAL RS232 on a RBPi, probably even the original MMJ
from DEC for keyboard & mouse
