Redirecting the output is fairly simple, especially to the printer port; the trouble is that it's still only 8 x 40. I played with it years ago but can't find my notes right now; I'll keep looking... ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee Kelley To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2020 8:50 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Can I Redirect LCD output to serial port?

I would like to have all of the computer's console output sent to the serial port, and not just the screen. This would allow me to use a terminal or terminal program to get an 80x25 output from the T102. Has anybody seen a program like this? Is it possible to hook the $4B44 print routine? Are there any good examples of talking to the serial port with assembly language?
