Thanks Steve,
Got it. Still quite useful and very cool. I don't really know CP/M...
yet. I will go looking for console over serial and CP/M... I will have
tor restore my CP/M and REXCPM stuff cuz I reset when I got a blank
screen and couldn't figure out how to get out of it (now I just type
SCREEN 0 and don't worry about echo) in BASIC and it's fine. Live and learn.
Thanks,
Will

Mvt100 either as the hardware adapter or the pc app is for display
only. Does not solve the issue of cpm over serial.
Having said that, doesn't m100cpm support console over serial? I
thought it did same as any cpm.

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 <http://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

So does rexcpm.

Cntl V at menu to configure!

Rex supports it. Or I think you need the vt100 driver
software from this page:

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,
