Re: [M100] reuse Palm pilot as a serial LCD display for M100

Heh. Maybe...if I can find them. Moreover, I kind of suspect that they were 
simply coded directly in the device, which would mean that they are gone.

I used the Palm and ADIOS board for monitoring some stuff. My recollection is 
that there were only a few lines of Basic involved...opening a port, sending 
and receiving ASCII.

The best thing to do would be simply to download Hotpaw, and have at it. I do 
not recall it being a tedious or tricky thing. It struck me as very useful.

Oh, and I have NOT forgotten the brief exchanges with you and Mike re ADIOS, 
just haven't had a chance to prowl around in my 'file system' (AKA basement) 
and find the stuff.

It's pretty straight-up Basic, as I recall. It's been years, but looks like

 Wow, that's pretty cool. I have an old Palm III that I keep wanting to find

stumbled across this interesting piece of Palm Pilot software it turns the 
PP into an RS232 driven LCD display.  This seems like it could be quite useful 
for the M100 - debug interface, auxiliary input/output etc.
