Monoprice 479 works with no adapters, and any old usb adapter you want, cheap pl2302 no-name are fine, and dlplus on linux is not merely free but small and minimal requirements to build or run. The only thing that cable isn't good for is HTERM, because that cable loops back rts/cts, but HTERM is the only software anywhere that even uses rts/cts on a M100. $2 done. No adapters on either end, and a plug that sticks out the least. What I don't know is, maybe laddie alpha or one of the other tpdd servers has more/better/different features than dlplus. For instance, subdirectories? Fake sector-level access aka disk images? Ability to copy and then restore the full utility disk image? (well, I know none of them have that or else we would have downloadable utility disk images) I don't know what other possible features might exist, I just assume that different tpdd servers probably have different features just like different dos's do. -- bkw On Apr 27, 2017 8:39 PM, "Paul Bucalo" <pm...@aol.com> wrote: Ah. I only scanned the article, and read the Windows reference and Win32, .NET needed. I have mono already installed. I'll go back give it a thorough read.

The other methods are quite interesting. Actually LaddieAlpha runs fine on Linux. No VM required, it runs on mono. I actually develop it under Linux. This lets me support one version that runs cross platform. -- John.
