Interesting! I've been pondering getting into RC2014 lately, as part
of my exploration of permacomputing.

How do you plan to interface the LCD to the system? From what I've
gathered, the RC2014 normally uses a serial terminal as its interface,
so I'm guessing you'll need to somehow interface keyboard and LCD to
the serial port? I'm thinking 'simple microcontroller that drives the
LCD and reads keystrokes and acts as a serial terminal to the RC2014'.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers,

Koen
