Actually you would need some filter to make that work to buffer and slow
down traffic even with xon/xoff because linux overruns the m100.
Either that or use a USB serial adapter on the pi, and hardware flow
control with HTERM. That I know works because I've done it.

Hi folks.
I know the service manual for TRS-80/100, TRS-80/102, TRS-80/200, PC-8201A and
KC-85 are spread on the net so it is possible to download them.
Maybe more tricky to find the one for the Olivetti M10, so here you go:

Using a Rasp Pi is actually pretty easy. Hooking up an RS-232 shifter to
the on-board serial port lets you use Model 100 as a console to the Rasp Pi.

BTW a value for wifi is that phones can share access to cellular network

Good point.

Well, one way or another we've been talking about it for what, five, six years
now, so it'll be nice to see it actually happen; Ken's proposal certainly
sounds ambitious. Didn't someone already have a Pi connected as a bridge? Gonna

The captive portal sign-on is a real issue with wifi devices and (AFAIK) is
not dealt with by the wifi232 device. The ESP might not have the chops for
this, either - not sure.
But it all sounds like a terribly difficult problem to solve given the poor
engineering on these captive portal wifi servi

Hi Mike,
Understood and very good points. And you might be right on target about
being a party-pooper. My idea for an internet connected M100 was always

processor capable of running on AA batteries.
- Add a "pass t

Hey Guys,
I think we need to start a community project where we build an
external device on the RS-232 port with a WiFi module and an STM32 ARM
cortex part with firmware to manage internet access. This would mean
open hardware plus an open software task to develop the firmware on the ARM.
Very cool. Though I think that this device will cause buffer over runs unless
you are using HTERM.
At the risk of tooting my own horn, you can already do this with mComm and an
android phone or a PC.
The legacy bbs (bbs.aoh.fi:2400) is well suited for the M100 with its 40 column
output.

yah that's awesome.
the little internal power supply may handle 100mA, not sure.
To be safe I would take a pin or two on the RS-232 and connect
straight to power input side of the DC/DC converter on the M100.
that way - no external usb supply needed.

I knew I should have worked on making this thing when i first heard of the
esp8266. heh. oh well... one less thing for me to make.
It really is a very simple device... ESP8266 + RS232 line level converter +
firmware on the ESP.
