If you're interested in this sort of thing, the most advanced keyboard famiclones were made in the mid-90s by BBK Electronics. They had a floppy drive, BASIC interpreter, assembler, and debugger, and ran a clone of MS-DOS. Other software included a paint program, file manager, word processor, and spreadsheet. You could even connect the computer to a DOS PC and access its files remotely. They could also play Famicom games by loading them off of floppy disks into memory.
