Weblacky, just a brainstorming thought, given all the modern tech available these days. Would it be possible to make something that provides VT100 emulation to show Console output, plugs into the serial port, connects to a monitor via HDMI, driven by USB kybd/mouse?

I think that this kind of device is only useful when no portable computers are at hand; it's just less capable then a laptop emulating a terminal.
