Or an F873 / F874 / F876 / F877 ?

You could make sort of a "super stamp" with one of those
and an external serial EEPROM (or without one; the 876 & 877
have 256 bytes of EEDATA).

Surely, if you find out let all of us know.  I looked at the BS/4 project once
but passed it up do to the limitations and lack of source. However, if I could
juice it up a bit myself I might be interested.
