    I’m surprised nobody makes an affordable PCI or maybe even USB GPIO box.

    To me, the RasPi served two purposes:

    • if you wanted GPIOs and the associated ecosystem of hats/shields/capes/straightjackets but a less barebones experience than a bare metal MCU
    • RiscOS, because an Archimedes is far rarer than even an Amiga or ST in the Rogue Colonies
