In answer to your first question, Will - it’s actually both. There's the desktop app that lets you use your PC as a terminal (which is the screen shot you linked to), but there's also an adapter that lets you connect the M100 directly to a VGA monitor (the MVT100<https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=VT100>). I did a video on the latter a while back, which walks through the build and explains how it works - https://youtu.be/CkqcmGkUxGs.

Or I think you need the vt100 driver software from this page: https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=VT100 The point of this is to give you a bigger more readable display. A subset of the DVI's functionality. -- John.

But somewhere else I saw it as some kind of adapter to talk to VGA. I'm guessing it's both - adapter gadget provides the VGA out thing and provides a server for the pc terminal app? I downloaded the software and it runs fine on linux under wine (to the degree that it appears to start up and not crash. I couldn't figure out how to get it to talk to my m100... so I'm guessing I need the hardware gadget in addition to my rexcpm to get it working? Thanks, Will
