I was thinking about that with this Teensy. It has an rtc built-in, so it would seem to be trivial to have the tpdd-server code recognize a magic not-real filename and supply dynamic data as though it were file contents. >From the M100 you just open a special file name and read the the the date,

Well that's a downside of working in an unorthodox location, I don't have any way to measure current right now :) https://photos.app.goo.gl/rq2TM5cWNV8NMkyi8 On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 3:15 PM Fugu ME100 wrote: > That sounds great. What sort of current draw are you getting? Quite > curious. >

I'd really love the ability to output the display from the M100 to a screen, even if it was composite. Modern day DVI! Hehe Sent from my iPad > On 24 Aug 2018, at 8:15 pm, Fugu ME100 wrote: > > That sounds great. What sort of current draw are you getting? Quite > curious. > > From: M100

I was playing with the Teensy 3.6 some more last night and got it waiting & responding to commands by serial (the built-in ftdi usb-serial not via max232 yet), reading/writing to files in a fat32 fs on the sd, blinking the on-board led during drive activity, and displaying text on a tiny 128x64

This happens during what operation? Bootstrapping from the utility disk? Do you know the disk is good? Does teeny or ts-dos work instead of whatever unknown BASIC program that line number 10 came from? Is the serial cable the original one ? (The cable has electronics inside, so if you don't have

At least for an ATMEL MEGA not much power at all especially if it is run at 4MHz. The biggest rated current draw on the TPDD emulator is the SD card which is spec’d at around 100mA while writing to the flash, but is a little manufacturer dependent some are better than others. The TPDD

Have you tried a cold boot of the model T? The drive makes shows no activity at all? No front light or spinning disk? You could check the serial interface is good as you might of seen from Josh’s thread the serial port can and does fail. If this is a TPPD-1 drive could also check the DIP

If you need power, how much are we talking? Could you not just use AA's? The TPDD uses 2xAA :-) On Fri, 24 Aug 2018, 3:37 a.m. Brian White, wrote: > That's what I would say if using an sbc (pi) instead of a microcontroller > (arduino). > But even these microcontrollers are more powerful cpus
