just a quick note to say I updated the M10 rom to fix the bug with shift3
key.
Version 3 is at:

Folks,
I have a "beta" Olivetti Main ROM posted on Club100 at the link above.
This main rom is lightly tested, but it seems that the keyboard is mapped
more or less correctly. Let me kno
Very cool. I was worried the project had defeated you :-)
Sounds like will have rescued a whole class of machines to much greater
usability. Nice.

update;
I have disassembled the relevant portions of M10 ROM and can see how to
shoehorn the T102 rom into this machine. I hope to have that done for the
weekend.
When I'm done I'll publish the patch. Should be achievable with any
keyboard. I'm not going to do other keyboards - just QWERTY.

Well this is a much harder job than I anticipated.
I got pretty close but came up against one big problem.
the PRINT and LABEL keys are moved to a spot on the keyboard in M10 that is
not scanned like a letter key, as it is in M100. If you look, you'll see
that PRINT ahd LABEL are scanned on signa
That's probably similar to the NEC 8201a with the Japanese keyboard. The
layout is different on the one I have when compared to a US keyboard.
Unfortunately mine is a dead unit so I can't pull the rom code.

not there yet.
M10 is a complicated keyboard system. Plus there are reduced characters
relative to M100 - there is no CODE key.
So Graph and Shift-Graph have to be remapped.
I have to decide whats easier - to modify the T102 driver to work with the
M10 keyboard, or mod

Hi!
Can you share your modified T102 image that works in the M10?
I'd like to try it too.

I installed a T102 Main ROM in my M10.
after some time figuring out the keyboard mapping, I was able to enter
BASIC and type CALL63012.
Then I burned a TSDOS EEPROM - standard 27C256 - and installed in the M10.
Good news - TS-DOS worked!

interesting,
So if you put T102 Main ROM into VT for M10, you should be able to test
this out.
I was able to deduce that
[y55jfrsd translates to call63012
so, I can go into BASIC and see if I can start TS-DOS. Unfortunately I
could not get TS-DOS to run in an M10 using T102 ROM.
so there must b
Hey Steve,
Yeah, looking at the VirtualT src/io.c file, I can see that the M10
keyboard mapping is definately different, without even looking at a
schematic. But that seems to be the only thing I had to code
differently in VT to get the M10 ROM to run.

So, not as easy...

That's a good idea. But we should revise the t102 font to match the
Olivetti ROM. That's one of the unique things about that machine.

I don't have an M10, though I figure I'll want one in my collection
eventually (my WP-2 arrives Friday :). I'd be game for hacking my
(proposed future) M10 in this way.

Hardware wise, the M10 and the M100 are very similar.
The option ROM socket is a standard socket, with standard wiring, not the
strange M100 Molex style.
I have a REX design that works in a standard socket. However, I don't
think there are many option roms available for M10 at all, are there?
