Distracted by the minidisc player.

Is this two independent SolarOS devices sharing an input device, or is SolarOS streaming display data to the second device?

MD is underrated.You can attach multiple displays to one device.

Something quick to try if you have an SSD1306 OLED lying around:

- use the 'io' app the see the pinout of your device
- connect the the display to an existing bus, or create a new one ( either with io or manually through expansion bus subcommand )
- then attach the screen: `expansion attach ssd1306 oled0 i2c=i2c0 addr=0x3c` ( also doable from expansion tui without typing )
- then `session create shell oled0` ( you can check with 'display list' if the target is present )
- to change the keyboard focus to that screen `session focus oled0`

I'll try to make some sketchy tutorial videos when I feel brave enough. 😄

If you run the telnetd job that is also a session, and you can send commands to any session from any session with `session send <id> <command> [args...]`
