Thank you for giving it a whirl Jim. Hopefully it is now "solid". I have it running beside me now. ;) So, you did the BCR hack as well? nice.
I have the "hack" installed on one of my T102s. Works the same but (1) the schematic is a bit different and (2) there is a missing ground on pin 5 of the BCR port of the T102. So you need 2 straps instead of one. I must admit - I really like having a 15 inch LCD hooked up to the T102. adds a lot. Too bad most option roms can't use it. However, one might. I think that ROM2/Cleuseau could be made to work, with a bit of effort. Anyhow, that might be the 2021 activity - sorting out how to get ROMs to work compatibly with VT100.
