Very interesting Ken I've never actually used virtual T, as I only ever use my M100. Would this process aid others in getting a physical M100 to output to a monitor?
I wasn't clear whether this only applied to emulation. Which is obviously very handy, but not much use to those of us rocking a physical machine :-P Many thanks James On Fri, 14 Sep 2018, 12:27 a.m. Ken Pettit, <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > Attached are three files TDOCK.CO file for M100/M102 and CCHART.DO / > CCHART.BA.
