Isn't the PocketCHIP a little singleboard computer that is plugged into the back of a display/keyboard larger board?
Why not run Virtual T on your PocketCHIP?

I've been looking around to see what Linux BBS program might be the best to make a connection with. I would like to embed the CHIP into a M100 or 102, I haven't actually laid out the case of the M-t to see where yet but with as small as the CHIP is I think it can be done. I would like to be able to not only save and retrieve files but be able to use it as a video adapter so I can connect a Model T to a projector and even send and receive e-mails. I was thinking of using blue tooth for the connection. But mainly what ever is the smallest and will do the job. On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 9:33 PM, John R.

I should've specified, this is on a USB to rs232 adapter. Both FTDI and Prolific worked. It turns out, the CHIP and PI and whatever-other-sbc use 3.3V on the "UART" pins. This will require a MAX3232 chip (Note: yes 3232 not 232) to massage the signal levels. Apparently, on ebay one can get cute little boards with the MAX chip and DB-9 all set up ready to go. Unfortunately I'm pulling OT every week at work and simply haven't had the time or energy to investigate. :-( Willard -- Willard Goosey goo...@sdc.org<mailto:goo...@sdc.org> Socorro, New Mexico, USA I search my heart and find Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night. -- R.E.
