Thanks. Making videos has certainly been an educational experience for me, not the electronics repair part but the video production part. It is amazing how much effort t goes into one minute of finished video. I have worked on a couple of 200s but have not picked up one myself yet. It is on my

That movie, actually, is near and dear to me. My sister taped that movie off the TV in the mid 80s because she was a fan of Melissa Sue Anderson from little house on the prairie. I liked the movie because it had astronomy on it and Melissa was a childhood crush of mine. Anyway, my neice is n

Another thought on the terminal, while I'm thinking about it. First, the PIC isn't the only game in town. You can actually buy a fully built ESP32 terminal on Amazon. It just needs a level converter and a DB25 to hook up to the Tandy. The reason I mention that is that, being an ESP32, it also has

Speaking of video adapters has anyone used the Œnewish' Arduino MKR Vidor 4000, it comes with an FPGA and ARM processor. From the YT videos it looks like it can be configured to drive HDMI and leave quite a few pins free for serial ports and digital IO. It also comes with a built in WiFi. The pr

The 25th line is used either as the label line or a regular line on the DVI screen, similar to that used on the LCD panel. Esc T turns on the line and Esc U turns it off if I recall correctly. I ended up using the 36th line for status information such as memory free etc or file info. Works out

I have a few bugs to sort out. DVI works in an interesting way. MENU is always on the LCD. So, one goes into BASIC, issues SCREEN 1 command to use DVI. Then, as I understand it, to get to TEXT you would first go to MENU (on LCD), select TEXT and automatically be back to DVI again. I have a bug to s

Good going, Steve. This will be so cool in native M100 mode, we've been waiting decades for a low cost & low footprint solution to give us 80x24. Have you got TEXT working yet? Philip On 15/04/2020 2:44 am, Stephen Adolph wrote: update: Towards the goal of a next-generation video solution for

update: Towards the goal of a next-generation video solution for M100, I have some progress to share. Recall this thread where I suggest that the "Geoff VT100 adapter" as the hardware to focus on. First, I have a "beta" VT100 driver solution, which is closely based on Microsoft Disk-Basic (minus t

Jeff - I have to say your videos on YouTube are insanely entertaining. Incidentally, I just received a 200 from another member today. It came with an upgrade and it's been a hoot to use it. Now. I just need to get wifi on that sucker, and some external storage. Meanwhile, my 100 is going
