Has any of the talented individuals on the forum thought or acted upon developing the FujiNet for the Microbee? It's a cool device.
I came across the FujiNet while probing AI on the feasibility of using an esp32-s3 as a co-processor and alternate display output for the MBee, i.e. duplicate the MBee display except with 256 color per pixel passive or active background (perhaps composited) so the Bee looks a little more modern than it is, plus add Esp specific graphic functions to enable Esp targeted game porting/development (e.g. games with Sprites), or speeding up existing functions. Pushing graphics back to the Bee might be desired also (ports/development targeting both display outputs).
The FujiNet is basically such and device except lacking any vga output so grabbing a development kit would be a great start. The RC2014 FujiNet is designed for the z80 bus exposed by the 50 way connector of the Bee so might be an even better starting point (firmware somewhat close).
Anyway, I'm interested as to who may have thought about this and if there's any interest is such a device.
