This is in regards to the poorly named VT100 function that is included in REX#. I should have named it VT52 (sort of). The Model 100 treats it's screen like a terminal, in a way. There are control codes that mimic much of the VT52, except for a handful of custom codes. So, the DVI also obeyed these control codes. The MVT100 video adapter, that works with REX# to enable an external video solution for 80x24, also uses these codes to control the screen. An alternative to external video is to find a way to send the video characters over serial to a PC, and using the PC as a "DVI" (for the video portion anyways). I've been searching for a shortcut to developing such a "VT52 terminal", to which I could add the special M100 control codes, and thereby have another option for 80x24 video. I found it. Here is the project I am going to port. https://github.com/kgober/VT52 It is a VT52 terminal emulator written in C#, and compilable in Visual Studio. I've been able to install the tools and been able to compile it. So, I'm off now on a tangent to make a Windows (10) dotNET based application. I don't know if this will be portable to linux in any way, but lets see how this goes. ..Steve
