I am new to this forum too. I have a TRS 80 Model 100. I use to type in
BASIC code from the Portable 100 magazines from the late 1980's to 1990's.

I love using it. But I would like it to connect to a Analog TV or Flat
screen, have wifi access to send and receive email. Also have access to
connect to a printer to print out TEXT docs and print out .BAS or .DOC
files. Then top it off with a SD card port to access and to save files onto
a standard SD card.

Is this possible or am I just dreaming knowing that this can not be done?

It seems, the most straight forward approach, both hardware, and software,
would be a serial to USB interface to a Raspi; the Raspi being the
emulator. The Raspi would offer all of the hardware add-ons WiFi, HDMI/
Composite display, SD, etc capability. The 100/102/200, would need a simple
serial interface program, developed to communicate through the serial
interface, to the Raspi. In effect the 100/102/200, is acting as a dump
terminal. The software for the Raspi emulator would, or might be the only
software challenge. This approach would provide a more simple portability
interface, both hardware wise, and wouldn't be limited to physical
portability also.
