@foone regarding Raspberry Pi working as keyboard and input device, there's USB4VC: a board that let you connect modern USB (and bluetooth) input devices (keyboard, mouse and gamepad) and then the Raspberry Pi emulates old protocols for vintage computers: e.g. PS/2, AT or XT keyboard, PS/2 or Serial mouse, and Gameport joystick.

(With optional remaping, i.e.: USB gamepad input events are mapped to key presses. Though that specific combination fails the 26 buttons criteria you mentionned)

@foone Same here, same here...

@foone Before hitting the link to see the picture, I was half expecting it to be a pictute of a Rice Writer

@foone also, it would be discriminatory against cats (on keyboards).

@foone I am certain several early DOS 3D games did exactly that.

(Doom and Quake, I think? )

@foone wait, but aren't USB Floppies already general mass storage with a few extra features ("removable")?

Wouldn't the pass-through mostly need to read the unpartitioned disquette with FAT12 filesystem and expose it as a simulated GPT partition table with an exFAT filesystem?
(a bit like the "TV compatibility" mode that some USB ootical drives had)
