Re: [M100] 10.4" LCD with the Model 100

I’ve nothing much to add to the conversation, except some encouragement. I have a DVI and my only disappointment with it is that you can’t do pixel graphics, so if new hardware can do that, it’ll open up a whole host of possibilities with games. Gary. Sent from my iPhone > On 9 Nov 2023, at

It's been a while since I've played with the DVI, but AFAIR not only did it not do bit-mapped graphics but I'm not sure whether it was 100% compatible with the entire M100 character set (or maybe I'm hiking about the printer...) The screen size issue is taken care of by the DOS extensions for the

Sounds like an ambitious project ;-) You can send the display data out to a display via the com port and, if you need the port for something else, even the bar code port; there is also a terminal driver that is compatible with the M100's screen codes. Have a look here: https://bitchin100.com/wiki

I ended up with a small qty of 10.4" monochrome LCDs and was asking around for ideas what to do with them. In one of my other groups, it was suggested to get one working as a display for a model 100 and I thought that was a great idea. Probably the most compatible way to do this would be to emu
