Rather than the PIC based terminal, why don't we work up a terminal on a Pi
Zero? There used to be a barebones terminal, but I think it needs to be
updated to work on the latest version of the Pi.

I'm curious, how does the font look on that monitor? I've tried a few

Since we're thinking outside of the box, couldn't we replace the FTDI
with a small arduino board?
Something like an Arduino Micro or even a Digispark should do it.
Then, it should be possible to convert the M100 additional ESC codes
to their VT100 equivalent on the fly and we will just have:

I second that recommendation. I've got exactly that unit and it works
perfectly with the M-100 running REXCPM, through an MVT100 and using VGA
input.

Several of the capacitors on the M100 go into a large ground plane on the top
side of the board. This can make it difficult to ger enough heat to flow
through the board to adequately heat the joint enough to suck the solder out.
In these cases it is easier to 'walk' the component out. Heat one l

I've been reading part of the thread about connecting the Model T to a
tablet to get VGA with a MVT100 (not exactly sure what that is but I
guess it's kind of like the DVI).
Has anybody thought of getting a display from Adafruit? They have
displays everywhere from 2" to 7" that have HDMI input

I decided to get 2 recap kits and 2 batteries for them, as well as a
RexCPM (I have an original Rex in the one I play with).

Hi,
Yes I realize that the stock vt100 emulation doesn't support the m100 escape
codes. I've only done this with rexcpm and it's a patched version of wordstar
that intercepts the m100 cursor keys and gets the program to do what one
expects. I actually haven't gotten around to using the more m1
Jonathan,
The difference is that your use case is this:
'M100 (CP/M) ---> RS-232--->FTDI --> USB--->PC'
(that is to say, I think you are running M100CP/M on REXCPM)
In this case, stock VT100 works fine because there are no custom M100 ESC
codes.
Just to reiterate,
If the goal is to extend the

Thanks Jonathan, very cool. Stitching it together like that is a nice
combination of solutions.

This might be possible with a new app (like a VT100 term

I tried this just now but I can't seem to find a 'free' android app that

costs a bit but I wasn't sure how well it was supported so I pa
