Has anyone mounted any kind of computer inside the Clone case...mini-ATX or otherwise. Specifically I was thinking about the utility of putting a Raspberry Pi inside the case. This could essentially make the clone a self-contained unit with all of the support package software as well as video out (composite or HDMI) accessible from inside the clone at a fairly low cost. I haven't done a great deal of research on Linux based term packages, but I imagine there is one that would allow many of the same capabilities as Tera Term and would allow you to have all of the different software packages easily accessed from a unit inside the clone. In addition, if the Pi is run from the command line instead of a window manager, you would have that classic black screen and white text look of the early machines. Add a cheap monitor, keyboard, and mouse if you like and it's pretty much self-contained. Finally, you could also use the Pi as a more current, and for $35 pretty powerful, computer if you want more than the Clone can offer.
The clone power supply can likely be adapted to run the Pi....if not, it would be easy enough to add an old Blackberry charger or similar, to the case.
This is not much of a stretch beyond using an external computer. The benefit would be to make the clone somewhat more easily configurable (without needing a notebook or desktop computer) at a low cost as well as providing a builtin terminal and video out capability. Getting a good software (term program) on the Pi (Linux) that does all the required transfer protocols may be challenging....Minicom may do it but I haven't used it. Putty and Screen are also slightly less user-friendly possibilities.
Thoughts?
