Could this be the modern day answer to 80's homebrew programming?

Initial production should be available next month, with assembled kit to follow.

    The RaspberryPi Model A and Model B (a reference to the BBC Micro)

    and they could have a show on the bbc and everything :) hehe

    I sure looks very interesting and i would love to see how you would go about making any kind of program on it.

    Also it will be interesting if they make any kind of expansions for it. I will be keeping an eye on it i think.

    It's an ARM PC running Linux. So you can develop for it the same way you would for any ARM *nix PC.

    Now the real fun, for anyone here, will start if Dunny can be persuaded to port SpecBas to it... a nice, fast, speccy-like BASIC implementation running on a dead cheap computer wot you can plug into your telly. It'd be a 21st century Speccy for the masses! :)

    I think want would be better is a type of bootable MESS with loads of systems to pick from. Then you would have access to all the computers and consoles at your finger tips.

    I might buy one to make into a NAS for the Spectrum+Spectranet. (TNFS for the 8 bit side, Samba to allow PCs to copy stuff to and from it).

    Could even mount it in an old Speccy case.

    Or nudge one of the hardware nuts in here to make a little board so you can hook up the real rubberkey keyboard. to it.

    pandora is a linux based arm cpu machine, and specbas already has a ongoing pandora port. Maybe it's not so impossible to make it work under raspberrypi, which I am also getting one when it's available.

    :) SpecBAS is, in theory, ready to run on a PI:
