I MacGyvered a terminal together.

It's better than a smartphone but not as good as a real computer. Anyway, Frankenstein here fools the guy who wrote the BIOS and boots when I plug in the power from an external keyboard (the matrix color on keyboard connectors is not always uniform) via a USB drive to the part of the video chip which drives a 50 Hz scan on an external monitor. 

It shouldn't work and it probably won't for very long  - but I notice that my cable modem has a port labeled "can and a string" so I'm rigging one of those together too.
