Well, you're going to be tethered to some kind of display anyway, so another cable for power won't make much difference...
Personally I'd still go for just a Bluetooth or WiFi module in the ModelT talking to a separate receiver connected to the display; minimal power drawn from the ModelT. As I've mentioned a few times that's easily done using an old headless laptop running a simple terminal program. We'd also need some firmware addons to handle colour, 80x24 screen size etc., not to mention the interface to the module and of course the external receiver module... I wonder if the Android version of mComm could be used/modified; a cheap tablet with Bluetooth and HDMI could presumably do the job... While we're at it, maybe a $20 Android TV box would be even more flexible; in theory it could be both a NADSbox replacement as well as the display interface (not to mention watching your favourite movies and TV shows...) m ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Adolph To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2017 11:42 AM Subject: Re: [M100] NEC 8201A + NEC 8231A + NEC 8241A=WOW I personally value not dragging another power supply around. Something designed to fit inside the power capability of the M100 - hence taking power from the system bus - is more appealing for me personally.

If all we wanted was a computer with a better display, then we already have that way way waaaaay better, and it doesn't incorporate a Model 100 at all. -- bkw On Jun 30, 2017 3:32 AM, "VANDEN BOSSCHE JAN" <[email protected]> wrote: You mean : Color ? ;-) My 2 cents: (About rebuilding a (D)VI) As hardware is often a stumbling stone, would it not be easier to use a RaspberryPi-like or other sbc to act as a DVI ? Or an Arduino-like controller? In that case, development would be limited to software and some hardware connections. It's a single task this hardware has to perform, so it doesn't have to be powerful. Furthermore, it could be more flexible and adaptable to both Nec and Model T. Because if you start to develop everything from scratch, it might turn out to be a very lengthy process… Greetings from the TyRannoSaurus Jan-80 """"" @ work ( - @ ) --------------.ooo--(_)--ooo.--- From: M100 [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Fezzler Sent: donderdag 29 juni 2017 23:44 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [M100] NEC 8201A + NEC 8231A + NEC 8241A=WOW Color -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu Jun 29 2017 13:51:51 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time), John R.
