Well, that's an exercise in wild. I'm not sure if I track with the
discussion, but here's what I did:
in Windoze:
Downloaded the MVT100 app for the desktop (doesn't work in wine after
all). Ran it from my Win 11 VM, captured the serial port, prolific maps
it to COM3, fine. Then I started up the terminal and it was blank
screen, but looked fine. I hit F6 and entered COM3, no errors, great.
In M100:
used TEENY to bring over VT100.CO and loaded it. Looks just like before.
Read here, read there, and then:
SCREEN 1
on the M100, this means no LCD changes... eventually figured out to look
over to my desktop, sure enough, lots of output on the terminal. Great.
So, if I type on the M100, I get output on my giant 32 inch display, yay.
How to type on the terminal? I tried stuff with F5, but haven't gotten
the magic sauce right yet. Is it one way only?
Thanks,
Will

Rex supports it. Or I think you need the vt100 driver software

The point of this is to give you a bigger more readable display.
A subset of the DVI's functionality.

I'm a little confused about the MVT100...

It sounds like it's a terminal emulator for connecting to the
M100 over serial. 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,
