____ FRST Computer: The MODEL4 cyberdeck ____________________________
MODEL4 in its natural environment
MODEL4 in B&W
This is the latest cyberdeck model from FRST Computer. This is a
return to the earlier epaper-and-microcontroller designs. Zephyr
RTOS provides the base for the firmware, while lots of
Plan 9-inspired goodness is layered on top. It's intended as a
statement on low-power, patient (read: slow), personal computing.
Honestly, the best way for you to experience it is in a modern web
browser at https://frstcomputer.com. The actual MODEL4 firmware
runs in your browser, simulating a real deck --
networking included!

- ESP32S3 (dual 240Mhz Xtensa w/ 8MB PSRAM)
