Hi,

The zerophone has a 1.3 inch display.... mcomm on an android phone or tablet 
would be much better. If you only want to look at the data on the android 
device there are apps and things for duplicating the display on other devices, 
and win 10 supposedly will do it soon or even now..... Not the div thingy 
though.

Greg,

If you are looking for a mobile storage solution AND you have an Android phone, 
mComm for Android will solve that. But It won't provide a larger display when 
you are at home. Running view80 will provide more characters on the screen but 
not everyone likes the look of it.

Some random thoughts.......

There was talk a while back about pushing all the screen data out of the serial 
port and then having a device display it. The Android TV box is definitely a 
possibility for this. Screen commands could be captured and displayed on 
whatever TV it is connected to. However, knowing next to nil about assembler 
for the model-t, I would not even know where to begin. Also, the TPDD protocol 
would need to be tweaked to add screen commands.

There is plenty of room to add specific commands to the TPDD protocol (I have 
actually added a command to the protocol for a project I use here so it 
definitely works). File commands start with ZZ, sector commands start with R. 
So adding something like SC or TV or whatever prefix followed by the screen 
data could be captured by mComm (Or  whatever TPDD emulator) and then 
displayed. The biggest problem would be co-existing with TS-DOS on the model-T. 
Screen related activity could interfere with files being saved or loaded.

Not having much time is what has kept me from putting a ton of effort into this 
idea. The new job has taken up quite a bit of time.

Someone mentioned LaddyAlpha or mComm as a way to get it done under Linux. In 
looking into this I found the PI ZeroPhone. This project goes through the 
process of building a cell phone using a PI Zero. It has been around for more 
than a year so I thought maybe someone here might have seen or had experience 
with it. I have also seen some projects using the PI Zero W as the base to 
build a tablet. In either case, the device uses some form Linux 
(Raspbian/Android) so I got to thinking. Could this be an way to develop what 
the M100 might/should have been? A portable device that one could use out in 
the wild then take home and use as a desktop. I can see the ZeroPhone as a 
storage device for the M100 and then plug it in to a TV/Monitor and voila a 
desktop with M100 data already on it.

Thoughts? Rantings? Any input at all.


God Bless,
