Re: [M100] NEC 8201A + NEC 8231A + NEC 8241A=WOW

I hadn't even considered using a TPDD server (Android, WIndows, whatever) for such a purpose. I suppose it's possible to create a window that displays data sent over the serial port in a new display packet format. Though it would likely be slow and limited to text only. The system bus or

Re: [M100] NEC 8201A + NEC 8231A + NEC 8241A=WOW

That would get the job done, but wouldn't be as interesting or fun IMO. If all we wanted was a computer with a better display, then we already have that way way way better, and it doesn't incorporate a Model 100 at all. -- bkw On Jun 30, 2017 3:32 AM, "VANDEN BOSSCHE JAN"

The video adapter for the 8201 is superior to the dvi. it has color, and it runs of the m100 power supply. On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 3:32 AM, VANDEN BOSSCHE JAN < jan.vandenboss...@vivaqua.be> wrote: > You mean : Color ? ;-) > > > > My 2 cents: (About rebuilding a (D)VI) > > > > As hardware is

Re: [M100] NEC 8201A + NEC 8231A + NEC 8241A=WOW

You mean : Color ? ;-) My 2 cents: (About rebuilding a (D)VI) As hardware is often a stumbling stone, would it not be easier to use a RaspberryPi-like or other sbc to act as a DVI ? Or an Arduino-like controller? In that case, development would be limited to software and some hardware
