This may be a useful config. It is very quick and easy to get up and running.
It is surprisingly reliable + robust if you use solid wire   The SD card
adapter has a bypass capacitor included.  
(Don't know if it will run MMBasic or not.)
The 4pin header allows a off-the-shelf stemmaQT/qwiic cable to be used.
