]I guess you need something similar to this:

Then the project has failed & I can just join-the-herd and buy a WinTel.

OK, I agree. The http*S* if 'git' & 'sourceforge' really annoyed me;
like those who tell me that I need a *deCRYPTED* eth0 to communicate
between the PC & the rPi *NEXT TO* it!!
It's like getting a visa & using the national-railway-system to fetch a
glass of water from the kitchen-next-door.

Since NW gets the big/top policies right, I wonder if ps2 will survive.
I've never looked at it's docos, but USB's show that that's a monster.

I didn't realise that, but have noticed that the FB/twitter wave has
killed much.

]that have all served their causes.

Well yes, Pascal, and Modula live inside Oberon.
It's the perpetuation of the 'top' universally-applicable-ideas that matter.

The PO2013 hardware/software seems an ideal educational project,
and far superior to even the rPi - for education; but I should persist to get
<ETHO> running on rPi.

LEO [EHO for Linux], is proof of the cost effectiveness of riding-on-top
of existing/proven system, as PO2013/SDL2/rPi almost did?
But that applies less for education.
There you need to work from the ground up.
What-all can PO2013 use for display?
rPi displays nicely with an old B/W RCA-input-connectored, which came
from the TRS80, with the cassette and A4-pamphlet, of M$-Pascal0,
of the 70s.  And less so via PAL TV. HDMI of course is superb.
