You keep giving me ideas. Stop it.
I lucked out today and the RS-232 HAT I purchased worked like a charm and I was
able to connect my VT-320 terminal to one of my Raspberry PIs. I have a little
configuring to do (install curses) to play my terminal games.
But now I was to write some FORTRAN just for fun.
I already got the CBM BASIC interpreter running on it. Not quite like a
PET/C64, but pretty close.
