I've got several and they get used often. Daily task is usually note taking with IDEA! or journaling with the built in text editor. I do use the Ultimate ROM II and View80 a LOT. I also use it pretty extensively for Amateur radio, primarily logging and satellite tracking. I also spend quite a bit of time messing around in CP/M mode doing weird stuff with DDT.
I have a raspberry-pi connected that I've dubbed the "Tan-PI". It's got several programs on it to do file sharing / TPDD emulation and I have a hacked together perl script that sends each key press from the Tandy to the X-windows system as keyboard input allowing me to use the M100 as the keyboard to the Raspberry Pi system. I will often remote the Raspberry Pi with VNC on my phone when I need a "real desktop" to send an e-mail or go to a web stie the tandy can't handle from the Linux CLI. These are my two go-to addons. I use a small USB power bank and this for power: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJDSG28P I also have a bunch of these Laptop "Foot" devices. Just drop one at the back, middle of the Model-T and it greatly improves the ergonomix. They are cheap so I keep one in my bag and one on my desk. https://www.amazon.com/SUPBEE-Universal-Computer-Anti-Slip-Ventilated/dp/B085QL2QXS On Mon, Dec 11, 2023 at 6:30 AM Gary Wilkinson <gpwilkin...@hotmail.com> wrote: > My T102 is connected as a terminal to my VAX4000.
