Last night, the old battle axe complained about my late night glowy face. I was watching mod videos from a youtuber who doubled the processor speed of his 100 (extensive mod), built Geoff's vt100 interface board for monitor output, added wifi, added another wifi to his scanner serial port, added memory, added cpm (ive seen cpm before but never knew what it was until this vid). I dont think it was all on the same m100, but still an impressive amount of modification. He also showed that the 100 supports 80 columns if it outputs on a capable display, which is a huge interest of mine since I do an enormous amount of writing on my 200. And, well I am a whore for 80 columns. So, I am gaining interest in frankening my device. I never plan on selling it (MINE) and dont mind working to reverse changes if any particular mod turns out needless or too difficult. The biggest interest I have is not damaging my precious 200.
After watching all the videos, my interest is growing. Honestly, I know almost nothing about the platform other than for my use case. I got the 200 from someone on this list a number of years ago and still using the same old rex it came with. I dont really understand it all too well other than it uses its built-in memory to expand storage on the device. I have a few questions: 1. Is the mod for doubling processor output bad for the long term health of the CPU? 2. Has anyone in here tried the bodge mod to add wifi to the unused (for me) serial port? 3. Can someone describe their experience with the VT100 monitor solution? 4. Can someone please describe their use case for CP/M on their model T? 5. Any idea when backpacks will be available?
