Yeah, to get 80x25, you need additional hooks. I have written code for doing this when I was working on TDock.

Looking at that assembly code, there are 6 hooks to be installed / uninstalled. But as indicated, this only works with ASCII ... the graphics routines in the ROM write directly to the LCD driver chips with no RAM hooks.

This would allow me to use a terminal or terminal program to get an 80x25 output from the T102. Redirecting the output is fairly simple, especially to the printer port; the trouble is that it's still only 8 x 40. I played with it years ago but can't find my notes right now; I'll keep looking...

    I do believe it has been done for the parallel port.

        I did find a hack from the ROM2 manual, which POKES some

        can't recover without a cold boot. (Don't ask how I know that.)

            I think you could achieve that with a little code and
            using the hook, yes.  But it isn't built in like ...say CP/M.
            That would be a good thing to get sorted.  Wonder if it
            exists?

                So I've been playing with (and enjoying) my T102, but
                I"m stuck on an idea, and I want to see if this is
                possible.

                I would like to have all of the computer's console
                output sent to the serial port, and not just the
                screen. This would allow me to use a terminal or
                terminal program to get an 80x25 output from the T102.

                Has anybody seen a program like this? Is it possible
                to hook the $4B44 print routine? Are there any good
                examples of talking to the serial port with assembly
                language?
