I actually disagree with a couple of these, especially if the solution
involves a RaspPi
* SD Card ... this would only sort-of be like TPDD2. The SD card
isn't really removeable when Linux is booted because it contains the
Linux filesystem.
* Model T Powered ... again, not so much. It should have it's own
120 power connection
* System Bus Port. The system bus connection a different form
factor for the different models, and the M100 has a fragile DIP
connector. My design for TDock used / uses the LPT port (and then
provides a replacement "pass-thru" LPT port on the TDock PCB to connect
a real printer).

So let’s help Josh theorize, what should the Dock have? :-)
* SD Card (TPPD2 alternative)
* RTC (for FAT support)
* WiFi (networking)
* VGA (use an HDMI adapter if needed)
* Keyboard PS/2 (in case of broken main keyboard, personal need)
* USB for power and OTG
* Sound (beyond just a buzzer)
* Model T powered on 100, 102 and 200
* Ribbon cable or direct plug in to the System Bus Port

Subject: Re: [M100] List of wanna haves
I'm quite interested in what amounts to a M102 docking station.
Not that it matters much since I probably won't find time to work
on (or even theorize about) such a project any time soon. But I'm
super willing to join on to any team willing to attempt it :)
