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: M100

Model T software compatibility requires 6 additional control codes beyond what is implemented in VT100. Agreed it isn't VT100. If you want to use the integrated "DVI" functionality (maybe VT100 driver is a bad name) then you need the screen solution to handle the special ESC codes. See below.

It seems like the most straightforward way to do that would be a VT100 terminal app and a USB-serial adapter that works with the android tablet. But then it wouldn't use the MVT100. Would that work? Would it lose any functionality? -- John.
