I agree completely. I've looked at designing a system around the Pi Zero, but it's so much work for someone with the time and skills that I (don't) have. And the Pi Zero doesn't seem to have the kind of I/O capability that I'm looking for.

I feel like the RP2040 or RP2350 approach the simplicity of these older machines.

The documentation is pretty good. Reading it reminds me of going through the documentation provided with my Tandy Color Computer as a kid.

I appreciate that when BCPL got its first floating point support, almost half a century after initial release, it was only because Martin Richards was writing a flight simulator for his Pi.
