It's really cool what can be done today with just an MCU that has sufficiently flexible IO. What's the performance like?

Does it emulate RS232 ports and printer ports as well ? I did'nt find anything. Then it would be possible to reuse old embedded equipment.

I love it! The RP2350 is probably the most underrated microcontroller available today.

Looks like it can even run Windows 96. Incredibly cool. I'll have to try if it runs my old Slackware kernal 1.2.13 some time. I used it with a 4MiB, 25Mhz 386 DX back in the time, so it should.

Really cool, wondering if it can be ported to the PicoCalc.
