Technically I never used it with Linux, but IRIX and Solaris, connected via the serial port, but I con’t recall if either of these systems used getty. (This was back in the early ‘00s.) I don’t have the termcap file any more, but it only took me a few hours to put it together, so it wasn’t a H

Thanks for the tips. It sounds like I should stick with my x86 palmtops for now. Maybe when the price is right I should consider an M100/M200/T102 with the REX option (and flash MFORTH onto that). Jon On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 8:57 AM Anthony Coghlan wrote: > I recently got one and like it as a d
