[M100] Terminfo for UR2 Model 100

I got my M100 telnetting onto my Linux box via serial; hooray! I used the terminfo linked in the mailing list and it works great. However... I was wondering how difficult it would be to set up a terminfo to accommodate the 60/80 columns of the Ultimate ROM 2? It would make life easier for me

Nice. Definitely trickier to use the smaller blocks. -- John.

I did, thanks for pointing out it needed more info and to change 258 to 260. On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 6:24 PM Peter Vollan wrote: > You just changed the wiki, didn't you? Well I don't get that checksum so I > should do the upgrade. > > > On Fri, 6 Jan 2023 at 15:21, Stephen Adolph wrote: > >> rev

You just changed the wiki, didn't you? Well I don't get that checksum so I should do the upgrade. On Fri, 6 Jan 2023 at 15:21, Stephen Adolph wrote: > revision is the same as build number. basically, as I fix bugs, revision > moves forward. > I don't recall if, in the old software for REX Clas

Re: [M100] Flash classic REX, installing REXCPM

revision is the same as build number. basically, as I fix bugs, revision moves forward. I don't recall if, in the old software for REX Classic, which I no longer provide any updates for, if revision is something you can find out directly. You would want to look at the checksum. 1) check informat

Re: [M100] Flash classic REX, installing REXCPM

What is this about revision 258 or 260? Is there a way to find out what revision I am on or if I need this upgrade? On Fri, 6 Jan 2023 at 13:18, Stephen Adolph wrote: > the last load I made for REX classic is here: > https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REX_Release_4.9 > > It isn't perfe

[M100] Alternate M100 Character Raster program

All, I have made a variation of John's original M100 Raster Character Data routine that uses the M100's block characters along with the M100 ROM Character ROM. This program allows you to enter a string (up to 13 characters max) and it will render that string using the ROM character data, but

Re: [M100] Flash classic REX, installing REXCPM

the last load I made for REX classic is here: https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REX_Release_4.9 It isn't perfect but it is the least buggy version of REX classic firmware. 4.8 is certainly not a great load to be using. I suggest a complete rebuild. Steve On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 4:15 PM

[M100] Flash classic REX, installing REXCPM

So I have 2 model 100s, one I got as a backup that has a small scratch on the screen. The backup I tried recapping last weekend... and thought I'd killed it. I just got it working again (pulled the mb and scrubbed the back with isopropyl alcohol using a toothbrush). So I had had a classic RE

Re: [M100] M200 dim display

On an M100 the leaking caps can cause a weak -5V which can lead to a dim LCD. On an M200 there is not a problem with leaking caps and I have noticed no improvement in the LCD by recapping one. My suspicion is that the LCD was never that great. I do wonder if the LCD polarizers have aged poorly.

[M100] M200 dim display

I'm trying to avoid blindly recapping my vintage computers, but I feel like the display of my M200 is dim, and only gets readable nearly at max contrast. Are there specific caps to replace (for maybe a dc-dc converter for the display) that are known to make the LCD better ? Or maybe other tips ?
