I had a chance to buy a VT-101 a few months ago, but without the keyboard. Maybe the guy still has it. I wonder how much effort it would take to connect it to

  > I wonder how much effort it would take to connect it to a Raspberry Pi. Should be quite easy. You'll need a USB-serial adapter for the Pi, and a cable with a 9-pin serial adapter on one end and a 25-pin on the other. Now, the way my luck works, it usually turns out that my random assortment of serial cables means I end up with the USB converter, a null modem adapter, the serial cable, and a 25-pin gender-bender just to get all the wires in the right order and fitting into the ports properly :)

  The RPi has a serial port on which Linux can present a console. It's just a matter of converting the 3v3 RX/TX signal to some 12V RS-232 level. Plenty of devices or instructions out there.
