Hi John, This would be a challenge considering cheap SD card readers are USB and there is nothing to drive USB from the Model T. So to use such a device, a custom board with controller, software, etc. woud need to be developed. This is exactly what NADSBox is, except instead of controlling

Hiraghm, Please keep me posted. I did find mu old Radio Shack CCR-82 cassette player / recorder and it cables to plug into the M100. But I have to look for documentation on how to save and load files to and from cassette player / recorder that is plugged into my TRS 80 Mode M100. It would be nice

Hi Jan - There are several such schemes out there, but $5 takes the palm! Very nice, thanks...

Gentlemen, Me thinks THIS is the cheapest thing where you can build a TPDD-emulator upon: http://linuxgizmos.com/tiny-5-dollar-raspberry-pi-zero-keeps-it-simple/ a $5,- Raspberry Pi! (Even if it would be 10 or 15, it would be dead-cheap!) Load the OS, recompile LaddieAlpha, autorun, an

The keyboard is incredible. I can write down stuff in meetings without looking at it. Indeed: I've started to use M102 in the office. Still occasionally, but the usage is increasing. For text file transfer to Windows and back, I'm using PuTTY and a serial USB adapter. > Well, for me, the kille

Well, for me, the killer features of the M100 are a) great keyboard, and b) runs forever on a set of AAs. Obviously, add ons don't affect the keyboard, but anything that perturbed the things battery life wouldn't be worth it, imho. On Nov 26, 2015 11:33 AM, "Hiraghm" wrote: > I'm still working on

I'm still working on getting my Android devices to talk to my M100 via the BlueM module. They talk, but I'm working on creating a service and a broadcaster which would allow one to use the M100 as a keyboard for the Android device. I want to learn to implement the TPDD protocol, but it doesn't

I think doubling the speed of the processor might be too much however. I know that is convenient - to make a /2 circuit. It is an experiment. I found the original OKI datasheet for MSM80C85ARS indicates that it can support a clock period of 320 nsec minimum. There are faster processors that are r

I'd want to take a look and understand how the downstream parts would react to the faster I/O and memory timing. The RAM and ROM systems are basically asynchronous - they look for edges and respond accordingly. So long as they are fast enough it should be ok. The PIO chip - unclear there, but I b

Dear all, thank you for your comments/ideas. I?ll do further investigations in that matter. Maybe M100 can run CPU @ 9,8304MHz outer clock, related systemclock @pin 37 has then just to be divided by 2 through a 74LS293 or equal to feed the PIO and further components with the "old" base clock. W
