I wonder if it would be possible to recreate something like this for real, with cartridges for each software/tool (like a gameboy or similar?), excluding the comically tiny keyboard probably :P
The size of that floppy does seem a decent match to a microSD card.
I'm really tempted to buy some RPi pico stuff or smth and see if i can make something similar
PineTime's CPU isn't that grunty - 64MHz Cortex-M4F.
The concern would be giving it a microsd slot to work with, which the Pico doesn't have either but it's probably easier to attach one to that than the pine time, but yeah size would probably be an issue there
I'm curious if it would be possible to replicate somehow with a PineTime
