Designing a Full size case with a real keyboard

Hi,
I have not found any topic describing this, but I playing with the idea to using the PCB of the Devterm an build around a new case with new display to get a more fullsized System.
I think the keyboard connector is a simple usb adapter. The Display connector I have to check.

Maybe, but with a display and batteries and a printer … Simply a bigger version of the devterm.

Making closer to the Radio Shack portable of a long time ago.

There are schematics of the Devterm boards available, you should be able to follow each connection and determine what’s what. I do believe that the keyboard is just USB, but it could be i2c or some other type of serial connection.

DevTerm XL!

Find a cheap Epson HX20 and do some modifications.

Yes, like this. But 3d printed case and bigger screen + mechanical keyboard without cassette deck.

The micro cassette is NICE!
