My boys and I are modding an Atari 600XL case and keyboard to be used as the host of a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and RetroPie. Keyboard will be converted via a Teensy 2.0 and USB run external, to be either fed back into the Pi via a short jumper or to be used as a USB keyboard for Dad's office. Using a ControlBlock to give the Pi a soft power switch & to attach real arcade-style controllers. Installing an internal audio amplifier too.

Awaiting the Control Block ...
Finished the soldering and mounted the controller ports. Turns out there were 80 (!) wires in the cable - 40 data and 40 ground in twisted pairs. I removed the ground wires and after connecting 30 wires, 10 remain for repairs.
