[M100] mComm version 1.2

I finally found the problem with the wired connections that version 1.1 of mComm had. Release 1.2 is much more solid and works with both wired and Bluetooth connections. Kurt

If you mean the Dreamwriter IR it does have arrow keys in an L-shaped pattern in the bottom right corner; see eBay 141789189298. A nice little machine actually, generally sells for $10-$20 or even less (note that there are also various other versions): 8x80 display (not lit); cursor-key GUI men

I have an "AlphaSmart 2000", it is very distraction free. It uses a two way PS2 cable to send text straight into a PC word processor as if you are typing from a keyboard, and also has an IR port. Even smaller than the Model 100. On 26 February 2016 at 21:33, Willard Goosey wrote: > It seemed app

Ken, Found it. New-DOS seems to be the problem. When I reset everything and went straight to a RAM version of TS-DOS with delays built into it, things worked perfectly. My guess is that those routines that New-Dos has to detect Virtual-T may be the problem. But I'm up and running now and the mai

Thanks Ken, That makes sense why New-Dos isn't working. I did get it to work for just a moment using the RAM version of TS-DOS but it locked up and now the port is not responding. I've tried turning on and off the flow control as well. I'll try to create a sequence of events that is repeatable.

Hi Kurt, The Virtual-T com port emulation doesn't really know or care what program is running in the emulation, so it shouldn't matter from that perspective. What might be going on could be a couple of things: 1. Maybe the app (TS-DOS, Sardine, etc.) is locking up because of hardware flow

Does the Virtual-T Host Com Port work with programs other than TELCOM? I ask because I am trying to use it with a USB to rs232 adapter set to Com2 on my Windows system. When I use TELCOM, I can send and receive data without issue. When I try to use New-DOS, TS-DOS, Sardine or the Ultimate Rom th

[M100] Screw size

Crazy question but does anybody know the size and threading of the two small screws on either side of the 25pin RS232 port used on the 100/200 and NEC? I've been going through my loose parts drawer and I'm at a loss to find a single screw that will fit. When i look at one one, it seems smaller t
