They didn’t have the sophistication or capabilities of today’s single-board systems exemplified by the Raspberry Pi or the BeagleBone Black boards. But they worked and provided useful platforms to experiment using simple computing devices in lieu of full-scale PC-based servers or desktop clients. Roll forward almost twenty years and there are now quite a few ...
