This is interesting but over my head.  I have an old Google Nexus 7 gathering dust.  Can I use it as an monitor for a Model T? On Tuesday, January 19, 2021, 03:39:29 PM EST, Kenneth Pettit wrote: I’ve actually stripped out the Model T logic from VirtualT and used the framework for

sounds like Jonathan has a solution in progress. M100 (with VT100 driver) ---> RS-232--->MVT100--->VGA>converter--->HDMI >tablet At least I think that is what is going on. If it works, you could use the video commands that worked with Disk Video Interface, running on the Tablet as a

WRT using Virtual T - I just meant the framework. strip out Virtual T and replace with a new application that uses all the same tool kit. After all it is the only thing I know how to do! On Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 2:58 PM John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > > On Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 11:44 AM Stephen

Model T software compatibility requires 6 additional control codes beyond what is implemented in VT100. Agreed it isn't VT100. If you want to use the integrated "DVI" functionality (maybe VT100 driver is a bad name) then you need the screen solution to handle the special ESC codes. See below.

I am actually thinking about exactly that, a new VT100 app that implements the custom M100 control codes, and takes serial data. Was thinking to use the VirtualT framework to do it also. Steve On Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 2:41 PM John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > It seems like the most straightforward way

It seems like the most straightforward way to do that would be a VT100 terminal app and a USB-serial adapter that works with the android tablet. But then it wouldn't use the MVT100. Would that work? Would it lose any functionality? -- John.

Hello All, I was looking for a smaller, perhaps battery powered vga monitor to use the my mvt100 that I connect to my M100. Then I saw an article last month on Tom's Hardware about using an android tablet as a monitor on a raspberry pi. That's nice, I thought, but I need vga. Then I
