C++ is my primary language these days, so I'll check that out. I knew VirtualT had a lot of stuff in it, but I didn't know about that.

There are K syntax C compilers for CP/M I guess. You could consider converting DLPlus to K syntax. -- John. >

Though my recollection is a real TPDD-1 can be set to 9600, a Brother FB-100 is locked at 9600, Purple Computing drive can be set for 9600baud. If it matters I can confirm. -- John. >

No, but I have it in Microchip PIC18F assembly!! Not sure that help you though. :) Also, there is a C++ version in the VirtualT source code.

[M100] TPDD Server in MS BASIC?
Does anyone have source to a LaddieAlpha type TPDD "server" program, but written in Microsoft Basic? I have this idea to have a CP/M machine (in this case, a recently built Altair clone) act as a file server for my ModelT. This is obviously just a "for the fun of it" project with little practical value, but I thought it would be worth asking here if anyone had already done something like this. I suppose a relevant followup question would be, "what com settings are necessary to support TPDD?"
