See also, PiTubeDirect[1], which runs on a Raspberry Pi which you have plugged into the second processor port of a BBC Micro[2], and turns the Pi into emulator for a number of different processors, notably an arbitrarily fast 6502, a Z80, or an 80286.

- actionfromafar 3y agoHey… it could run ARM code.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoIt can, it does.
- actionfromafar 3y agoI mean, these Z80 cards used the host computer as IO. Instead of emulating a CPU on the raspi, one could run native raspi code and use the host computer for IO... basically make the ancient host computer a graphics and sound card for a modern CPU.
- NikkiA 3y agoIt can and does, there is the facility to upload native rasp-pi code and have it execute natively, not even pretending to be an ARM1.
