Ok, forget the Raspberry Pi, use a Q68...

A Q68 is too big to fit into my "sort of QL wafer design" but I am working on a new QL-like box that will hold a Q68.

The advantage of my wafer design is that it actually works using QPC running in the smallest PC I could buy.

What I find extraordinary is that something that can be made at home has been celebrated by some in the retro computing arena in the form of the Abacus by Pentaform.
(you can't actually buy one at the moment!)
