Just to revive this older thread from last week... has anybody here played around with this yet? I don't have  Pi yet, but I do have a list of reasons to get one, and this just got added to it. I see a Pi in my future, sooner rather than later.

(Also, I love how the code is 4043 bytes... half of 8086.)
