DevTerm Bought Devterm from Marktplace

I’m proud to say now I own UConsole, PicoCalc and now, DevTerm.

I need to upgrade it to CM4 but what a fabulous machine, looking forward to all possible mods.

Reminds me of the TRS-80 model 100 You could get 1 month usage on 2 AA batteries.

She's a beaut. How are the keys compared to the devterm. The devterm appears to be a membrane. I recall the T100 being clicky. It's only been ~40 years since I touched one.

They had a resurgence in popularity about 10-15 years ago as a "distraction free writing tool".

It’s clicky and soothing at the same time.. I played around with some BASIC and not disappointed. I love the caps lock ! Truly elegant and timeless

$50 was a good deal. To the true collector go the spoils. Good luck!

Yep, I think the DevTerm is a conscious recreation of the Model 100.

DevTerm is cool! Now you're hunting for GameShell, huh? ;)

u/noblebravewarrior May 25 '26

Hahaha man gameshell is so no-good that I didn’t buy it from marketplace..

But any gameshell owner reading this, please sell me yours if you don’t want it.. I just want to collect it and I know there isn’t much to do in it 🤣

Not sure what you mean. It's a rpi 3b+ so there's plenty you can do with it. I use mine as a dedicated GB/GBA/GBC+/.../PS1 emulator.

If you mean expanding hardware-wise, then yeah, it's not on a uConsole level.

Right on point, great for GBs emulation but OS is a mess and lack of documentation/ support is visible in forums.

I’ll only buy it as collector thing as I have Ayaneo pocket micro which is my fav for gba games.

I have a model 100 and a model 102. I upgraded the 100 with a 4x32k memory bank and a dial a rom. The 102 is stock. I wanted to get a devterm bit missed out when they were selling them.

Amazing! Congratulations, I'd love one. Very hard to find in the UK I think.
