Mmm, not sure this is what I want.

I want the Pi to run plan9, and run a seccond display
(the vfd) on plan9 completely in user space.

It is an interesting project.

Personally I still harbour a wish to get a cpu server
running on windows - probably using named pipes instead of /srv.

Then I should be able to run "cpu -h dosbox -c catclock".
Again, its not very useful but would be fun.

More useful might be replacing some bits of windows dlls or
linux shared libs such that chrome is misdirected into rendering
on a remote plan9 box (without the overhead of X11, vnc, or remote desktop).

Thats is a lot more work and I will probably never manage it.

I an toying with the idea of using a raspberry pi2 running
Windows 10 as a cheap, low power "browser co-processor".
