[M100] mComm for Win

@Kurt: I was looking for mComm for Windows but couldn't find it; am I just blind or are you hiding it somewhere? Re the Android version: all my phones and tablets are V 4.xx; I take it I'd have to buy a newer one to run mComm? TIA, m

Re: [M100] NEC Memory Module Bank 3

I don't know the 8201 very well (yet) but it looks like you could do essentially what I do with my option RAM kludge, i.e. make a shim board that plugs between the option ROM socket and any optional ROM to pick up the address and data lines, and also straddles one (or more if necessary) of the R

At last! Excellent! I don't know why this turned into such a lengthy, frustrating and confusing (and expensive ;-) thread... We knew that whatever you were using worked, it was all normal commercial stuff (i.e. no homemade cables etc.), your LCD worked normally without the USB cable plugged in

Re: [M100] 102 com port power drain?

Yeah, this has turned into quite the saga... I'll repeat what I (and Steve) said near the beginning, that some dimming when you select TERM is normal, especially with USB cables, some of which may be worse than others. Since communication works and these are standard cables I'd assume that the

Re: [M100] 102 com port power drain?

Some time when I want to spend more time on that page, I can expand those to a less cryptic form, (or anyone else can, it' s a wiki) but until then at least the knowledge is documented so that later I can refer to it. It's sort of like working notes until then.

Re: [M100] 102 com port power drain?

That's correct for a straight connection, i.e. not through the null-modem. Maybe you can tell us the actual exact connection sequence between the 9 pin male on the USB cable to the 25-pin female on the M100, especially at which end the null modem is? m - Original Message - From: Th

Re: [M100] 102 com port power drain?

It may well indeed just be a little excessive drain on the DTR pin by the USB cable, perhaps exacerbated by Vee being a little weak. I get the same symptom using a USB<>serial cable (CH340) with a straight cable and a mini-null-modem adapter. In fact, I get the same symptom when only DTR (and G

Re: [M100] TeraTerm - still not communicating

Seems like many people prefer 1200bd for some reason ;-) With custom software (like your HTERM for example) one can even go _above_ TELCOM's limit of 19,200 up to 38,400 and even 76,800 if the other end supports it. - Original Message - From: John R. Hogerhuis To: m...@bitchin100

Re: [M100] TeraTerm - still not communicating

I installed Tera Term on my Win10 laptop and no issues whatsoever, so it looks like a setup or cable issue (assuming that the hardware is working 100%). I am using an FTDI adapter but I doubt that a Prolific version would not work at all; I'll try to dig one out later and try it. As mentioned,

Tera Term help +1 on the adapter. But if you have a Tandy 200, pin 1 will need to be removed. Otherwise that works perfectly. Kurt On Fri, Mar 29, 2019, at 1:49 PM, Mike Stein wrote:  - Original Message - From: Thomas Morehouse To: m...@bitchin100.com
