On the Optiplex 780, it looks like VT-x is disabled in the BIOS and we need to see if that can be remedied.

Enable or Disable Hardware Virtualization on Dell systems. Power on your system. Press F2 when the Dell logo appears to enter BIOS setup. Go to the Virtualization settings. The path can vary based on your system model: Advanced > Virtualization Or Virtualization Support > Virtualization Set Virtualization to Enabled. Set Virtualization for Direct-IO (or VT-d) to Enabled. Save and Exit. The system reboots.

The VT-X and or VT-d parameters are switched on or off in BIOS as is NX aka execute disable bit under Security. ALL 3 must be ENABLED under virtualization and NX aka execute Disable Bit must be ENABLED in security.

Maximize screen space on the Peedy Wheat - GPD MicroPC? Handheld Computer Review - hpcfactor.com

A possible dock for the gpd - Amazon.com: Docking Station Dual Monitor, Baseus 7 in 1 USB C Docking Station 3 Monitors, USB C to HDMI Adapter with 4K HDMI, 100W PD, 3 USB, Dual Monitor Adapter for iPhone 15/!MacBook/Dell/HP/Surface/Lenovo : Electronics

My Peedy-Wheat computer (the GPD Micro PC) got home from Scotland, so I don't need a replacement. We will see how long it lives - I already had to replace the case because the integrated hinge detached from the original.

This is my way of looking at computers, same as the People's Computer Company: For the founders of PCC, this meant promoting the use of computers as a liberating force in society. (this comes from the Preface to Dr. Dobbs volume 7)

Everything below this was research for a replacement tiny computer.

This is the computer I am looking for: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Retro-Computers/AgonLight2/open-source-hardware

It uses BBC Basic and an ez80 microprocessor for computer and an ESP microcontroller for video, sound, and most I/O control.

It uses a proprietary (but open) peripheral system called UEXT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEXT

The biggest issue is that you need a certain USB/PS2 keyboard. Either buy it from Olimex or get a PS2 keyboard with a usb adapter (like this? https://www.amazon.com/UCEC-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Cable/dp/B00X9QX9MS)

This keyboard seems like it would work without an adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Adesso-AKB-110B-EasyTouch-Mini-Keyboard/dp/B002DV8ZTM

I bought a 60% keyboard from Goodwill. It is cute with all the flashy lights. I can't get the bluetooth to work, but the usb connection is working but needs to be reconnected to work each time!!
