How does the Intel stick compare with a Pi? Is it running Windows of some kind?

Having such a kit might be a nice product, and hopefully save some dead CoCos from the trash. So many retro machines are just being thrown out if they won’t power up or - worse - when they are working but the owner doesn’t know that he RCA Jack on the back isn’t composite video output and just thinks they are broke.

Maybe we need to start a "Dead Color Computers Wanted" program and try to safe them?

WANTED:

DEAD or DEAD

I can see the posted now.
