Do you have a website link that I can access to read more about this.

Subject: [M100] Raspberry Pi & LaddieAlpha working!

Picked up Raspberry Pi Model B from Microcenter this morning. This is
a $40 computer, it has Composite, HDMI, sound outputs. It has 2 usb
host ports. It has an Ethernet port. It has an SD card that it boots
its operating system from and can use as storage. It gets power via a
mini usb cable.

I had every expectation that this thing would run LaddieAlpha.EXE
as-is under mono since it runs on x86 based Linux boxes. But I needed
to prove it...

Installed the Raspbian image on a SD card
Booted the Raspi with a USB keyboard and my old Magnavox "Computer
Monitor 80" green-screen I used long ago with my Color Computer 3. I
love the composite output on this gadget!
Used the raspi-config utility to change the keyboard mapping to US and
expand the image to fill the disk.
Plugged in a pl2303 based USB-Serial adapter, and a keyboard
Connected to network via ethernet
Installed mono-complete
Used wget to pull down LaddieAlpha.EXE from bitchin100.com

mono ./LaddieAlpha.EXE /dev/ttyUSB0 6

Attached a Laplink full null crossover cable, plugged to Model 100
with a gender changer shim... verified saving and loading files,
creating and changing directories with no issues.

There you have it... a working Raspberry Pi based TPDD server :-)

Note that LaddieAlpha.EXE is written in C# and compiled on Windows,
yet ran with no changes whatsover on the ARM-based Pi. Is that cool or
what?
