(artist's note: I really didn't want to build a Pi-based CyberDeck,
but it was just too easy... Plan 9 support was just too good not to
go ahead and put this together to help boostrap development of
FRST:Net... this will be my go-to development deck for that effort
while a Model Four will represent further refinement of this
essential CyberDeck form factor, possibly using another SoC...)

- Raspberry Pi Zero W (1000Mhz BCM2835 ARM CPU w/ 512MB RAM)
