Steve,All my testing was done with hardware flow control on so I'll have to go
back and hard wire the flow control lines to know for sure. I agree that
128bytes shouldn't be a problem. I think the serial buffer is 256 bytes but I
may be wrong on that. I never had a problem with the connection once I got
TS-DOS slowed down. Sadly I never got Sardine to work properly. Those packets
are 264 bytes (256 dictionary track + 8 for sector info) but I suspect there
was another timing loop that was causing the problem rather than the packet
size.

Kurt,
regarding the need for hardware flow control; if the user is just running TPDD
protocol, I did not think any flow control was needed. the max packet size is
128 bytes I think and the M100 can deal with that at 19200 baud.
What did you see?

I'm late on this thread but I'll put in my two cents. Yes, mComm will work over
bluetooth. The problem is TS-DOS. Without additional delays, it times-out. And
on top of that the hardware must support RST/CTS. When I was working on the
bluetooth code for mComm, I used an off the shelf RS232 to Bluetooth device
which had CTS/RTS flow control built in. After many hours of frustration, I
found that if I changed the delay values in TS-DOS, it worked reliably, but
definitely slower. I posted some REX images of TS-DOS with delays added in the
members file area for those interested in testing. I stress 'testing' as its
still in that phase. Steve did some testing with BlueM but he had some issues
as I recall.I have not done much with it over the past two months. There seems
to be several variables between the hardware and TS-DOS. I decided to stick
with a wired connection until I have time to pick it up again.

Apologies - I see it does use bluetooth.

You don't need GetBlue if you are using mcomm for android.
I think you need Rex or some way to run a customized tsdos optrom though.

I just purchased the GetBlue app to connect my Model 100 to my Note 5 Android
phone.
I downloaded mcomm for android... is that enough by itself to use my phone as
storage for my M100?
Is there a guide somewhere on how to set up GetBlue / mcomm ?
