That's definitely an interesting setup; not the craziest "computer in a
briefcase" config - but certainly intriguing! If I had the money and
didn't think my wife would kill me, I'd have probably bid on it, or
BIN'd it - maybe. Too late now (I wonder why the seller pulled it?)...
The question would be if the interface boards and/or the software could
be figured out, so it wouldn't just be another "dust collection
device"...heheh
One thing I did find curious about it (and I chalk it up to my limited
knowledge of the M100, hardware and software, plus not being able to see
exactly where that rainbow ribbon cable goes) - is how output and input
is being done?
If it's using the "parallel port" (IIRC, the M-100 does have one?) - I
thought that was "output only"? Or is it (in some manner) connected to
the bus? I don't have an M-100 easily nearby to look - I can't remember
if the bus is brought out to a connector on the rear, or the bottom? If
at all...
Regardless (and I'm not trying to thread-jack), what would be a good
resource (hardware and software) to learn/understand how to use the
M-100 for I/O purposes?
