I tried those and they fail, at least for me. Perhaps my Linux is too new?
The PCMCIA drivers are indeed very old.
As I recall, ZCN is loaded by the serial port, but it requires an SRAM card
for storage.

There seem to be a few tutorials around for Linux mounting sram pcmcia
cards.
I was looking at ZCN which at some point I tried in a nc100 but that is
loaded via serial port. So maybe I never did mount one of these cards.

What PCs do you have that can read/write PCMCIA SRAM cards? My Fujitsu
Stylistic ST6012 (running Linux) can't detect them. Is this a good reason
to keep around an older laptop?
This would be really helpful for handling CP/M on my NC100.

I was reading through the NEC technical Reference Manual. Page 244 says
"Further, as it becomes the mode of 64k bytes full RAM by optional RAM BANK
#2-#3, you can use a CP/M, etc."
So that is an interesting thought. Has anyone looked into it?

I think it was more that he had got CP/M running on it, but in any case he did
Hi Ken,
Nice job! I guess that answers your question about "assuming anyone is still
interested" (grin)

More useful is to run CP/M on it, and there are a couple of variants around.
For file transfer it has

I have sent out an email the 9 individuals who were first to order
NADSBoxes. This was basically all of the emails I recieved because I
disabled the form after receiving 9 orders, so I think that means

That's probably a non-starter, then. The WP-2 was designed to work with

Thanks John,
I was afraid of that. I wonder if it has some kind of DOS built into it.

James,
I'll have to do a little research on the machine. I don't know anything about
it and if it doesn't support the TPDD then I doubt it is something I would
venture into it. Let me check and I'll get back to you. Time is a bit tight
right now but when I get a chance I'll do a little

Hi KurtThank you for replying.Are you interested in potentially expanding the support for those devices? I ask, because I would be more than happy to avail my myself and my NC100 to you in any shape or form. As it would make the device really damn handy. Atm I have to serial to my phone a xmodem
I don't own a NC100 so I really don't know. I do know that the WP-2 gives mixed
results with mComm. I have read that blog post which seemed to indicate that it
works on the WP-2 but user reports here on the list indicate that it doesn't
work reliably. If I end up with a WP-2 at some point I'll
So I use mcomm exclusively with my M100. However I recently saw a blog about someone using a Tandy WP-2. I have an Amstrad NC100 which I think is the same thing but rebadged. Was just wondering Kurt could tell me if he knew if it'll work with a NC100 computer.
Hi rcs (sorry, I don't know your name since you only use initials),
I recieved 9 emails in my inbox and then disabled the form. If you did
not get a "Sorry NADSBox sold out" screen, then chances are you got one,
but not guraranteed. I will have emails sent out to everyone by 3:00
today,
Very cool!

Let us do some of that. I would happily spend time making something in
either kicad for the pcb or openscad for the enclosure. Then there is never
again any such thing as a license or an unusable file, either due to age or
needing to buy an expensive or no longer available product.

I don't recall anyone else running VT on a pi.
What kind of pi? How does it perform?
-- John.
Well, there are other reasons also. Many of the components that were
used for the NADSBox PCB are no longer available. I would have to
basically redesign the PCB, choose new components and re-do the layout
from scratch. The tool I used in 2008 was Pads PCB, but that license
expired years
Thank you kindly!

If you've successfully rebuilt VirtualT under Linux lately I'd appreciate
hearing what configuration you used to do it please.
My Linux daily driver has issues building FLTK which I will continue
working on, but I'm taken enough with VirtualT I'd like to set up a whole
Linux laptop dedicated just
