It somehow does not appeal to me to stick a thing like that in a m100. You could emulate the entire m100 on that, and just use the gutted shell of a m100 for it's screen and keyboard. Then you have all the option roms and hackable system roms and all the switchable ram banks in the world... but what would be the point? Might as well just use a pc.
But it's literally not possible to get say tcp/ip without the network module having essentially it's own computer inside that is more than the entire m100, so I guess it's unavoidable to have "peripherals" that are actually more powerful than the "host". -- bkw On May 25, 2016 9:46 AM, "Lee Kelley" <[email protected]> wrote: > It has an onbord charge controler for an optional lithem battery it could > either be powered by connecting the power input to the input for the M-100 > being that they are almost the same power thus being able to charge the > chip battery from the normal M-100 power supply, with maybe only a small > isolator circuit ie a diode.
