If you are going to play a lot with CP/M on the M100, the MVT100
device is a good thing to have, since a LOT of the CP/M programs want
a bigger display. With the MVT100, you can get 80x24 characters after
you connect a VGA device. I have used a VGA to HDMI converter and
actually can use an android tablet (or even my phone) as a display.
You can run Wordstar under CP/M on the M100. CP/M adventure got a bit
messed up on the M100 screen but on the MVT100 it was just fine.
The device also can take a keyboard and then it runs more or less like
a real VT100 but I don't think the gold key etc. are mapped......

Subject : [M100] mvt100 and the pc terminal
I'm a little confused about the MVT100...
on this page:
https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=MVT100_Desktop_Application
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,
Will
