YT: Raspberry Pi joins BBC Micro on the Tube.

Found this of retro geek interest,

The Tube being not YouTube or a canned human transport system, but the second processor connector, where then the Pi can pretend to be a 6502 SP, native ARM, or a 80286, and others ...

Wow there are still working Tube chips, I am impressed. Back in the day at Torch I decided not to use the Tube because:

a) It wasn't ready and wouldn't be in time b) It was hideously over-engineered - we used back to back parallel ports

I wonder if there are any Z80 disc packs still working.
