Re: [M100] Video out adapter?

[Stephen Adolph]

Yes.  Remove the rex hooks to use VT100 driver.
However to remove the VT100 driver is a cold boot.

So that's a bit unfortunate but... thats where it is at now.

My plan is to sort out how to make REX and VT100 driver coexist, or better
still integrate.

Re: [M100] Video out adapter?

[Dan Higdon]

I see from the docs that the vt100 driver isn't REX compatible. Should I
remove REX's hooks first, and can I restore REX with the usual call
afterwards?

Re: [M100] Video out adapter?

[Stephen Adolph]

Give it a try!  Note that a normal vt100 does  ot work perfectly.  As I say
in the wiki page, a vt100 does not have certain commands that the model T
needs.

Ah, perfect, I missed the vt100 driver for the ModelT last time I read that
page. Thank you.
Option 3 for right now, with my PC and PuTTY playing the role of a vt100
terminal.
Hopefully Option 2 at some point.

 Welcome to the list and the 'Model T' community!

 As a matter of fact several slightly different external 80x25 video
 adapters do exist, although unlike the DVI which connects to the system bus
 these connect either to the RS-232 com port or, with a minor board mod, to
 the BCR port.

 See
 http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:VT100_1.jpg

 and
 http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=BCR_TTL_SERIAL_HACK

 for a version adapted to the M100 by Steve Adolph, a list member,
 currently awaiting production quantity parts.

 Note that the BCR port mod may be superseded by a different internal
 connection.

 Hi just got a (working!) model 100 off eBay and replaced the nicd
 battery. So far, so good.

 Learning about this computer and just read there was a combined
 external disk and video adapter. I'm interested in the external video part.
 Has anyone designed an external video adapter for this, that can be built
 by a hobbyist?

 thanks,
 David

 I am well into the 2nd build of REXCPM.  All of the REXCPM modules are
 built, untested, but I still need to build the adapters.
 So good progress.  I'm aiming to ship the next tranch in 2 weeks or
 sooner.

Did you get one of the versions old enough to have a hole in the corner?
And if so, did you get a carrier that fits it at the same time?

If you don't have a carrier to match your board, let me know, there's a few
different options to get you going.

Re: [M100] Video out adapter?

[Stephen Adolph]

Well what do you want screen 1 to be?

Option 1.  A real DVI, with original DVI software

Option 2.  Using my hack of the DVI software, and the MVT100 video adapter

Option 3.  Using my hack of the DVI software plus an rs232 connected
terminal as the display

I believe i have posted the software at bitchin100.  MTV100 adapter is
still waiting for parts .  Hopefully I will have kits soon.

Re: [M100] Video out adapter?

[Dan Higdon]

Where do I get whatever I need to add "screen 1" as a valid command?
It occurs to me that I can actually use PuTTY to be my 80x25 display while
I'm working my way up to building a vt100 connector.
Thanks,
Dan

[M100] TPDD Disk?

[Charles Hudson]

Brian,

Thank you for the clarification.  I obtained the MP3 of the DOS
installation, as well as mComm.  I have it installed on a Windows 10
machine (after the antivirus resolved its reservations) and have Linux and
Android OSs to experiment with as well.

I do have the cassette cable and also have USB-to-serial converters and
null modem cables, although I'm not sure how well they conform to
specification.

I'm sure one way or another I'll get this going.  But I really ought to get
busy building the REX; I bought the pieces last year but got busy with
other projects thereafter.

Thanks again for your contribution.

This is the TPDD, catalog 26-3808.

I think the simplest option for me is to order one of the TPDD disks 
from Arcade Shopper, which I will do today.  The manual describes the 
boot process from the disk.


I do have a cassette drive, CCR-81, but I don't have REX implemented yet 
and would like to verify operation sooner rather than later.


Cassette cable, not cassette drive. If you have the cassette cable, you 
can play the mp3 to install TS-DOS right now, if you have anything with 
a headphone jack.


If you have the serial cable and usb adapter you can bootstrap from 
either mComm or dlpluss right now too.


The TPDD1 bootstrap procedure from the util disk is about the least 
convenient method of all, what with switching the dip switches and 
having to enter in that long S-Record correctly. TPDD2 is the slick one.


The mcomm/dlplus bootstrappers work the same way as the TPDD2. But you 
do still want the disk just to have it.

[Mugglepiece Theater]

Yeah, mine wasn’t working. I’m not at all tech savvy and I was able to
switch out the belt without too much trouble. Got it on eBay pretty cheap.
Worked right away.

Re: [M100] TPDD Disk?

[Ken Pettit]

Hey Charles,

Keep in mind that nearly every TPDD these days that has not had new 
rubber drive belts installed will likely need one.  After 35+ years, 
they have dry-rotted and the motor does not spin the disk.  These can 
also be purchased, but taking apart the TPDD and putting it back 
together is a bit of an effort.

Hi, Just a update.
My Tandy 200 now works! The problems was that the memory board in the Tandy 200 
is connected by a ribbon cable and when I took it apart the connector must 
oxidized or gotten dirty which was causing the problem. Since after cleaning it 
with isopropanol it works, the machine powered up first in to the menu system 
and now everything works.
