The DevTerm - the TRS80 Model 100 reincarnated

Portable "slab" Linux computer. So adorable. I need twelve.

Have you seen the DevTerm from Clockwork (the same company that made the GameShell modular handheld game system)?

It is a “slab” computer — a lot like the old TRS-80 Model 100 (which I absolutely love). Except… with modern guts. ARM CPU. Double-wide VGA screen (1280x480). Real keyboard. A little mini track ball. Even has some gaming buttons!

I don’t have one yet. Because I was dumb and did not pre-order one.

After drooling over the pictures posted by the company founder, I am highly excited for when they re-open orders (which sounds like it might be soon).

Take a look at these pictures. So groovy.

Windows 3.1 and Classic Mac (in emulation, naturally). Side by size. On a slab Linux computer. Be still my beating heart.

I count at least 27 things I love in this picture.

Now that’s some widescreen gaming!

Oooohhhh. Fancy terminals. On a slab. I need to have this with me. Everywhere I go.

How you know the company that makes these really gets it. Here’s a DevTerm running a Model 100 simulator… next to an actual TRS 80 Model 100.
