The smallest number of parts I have so far found is runCPM (https://github.com/kklis/RunCPM) on a Teensy 3.5 or 3.6. It is an emulated version of CP/M V2.2 (uses a Z80 emulation) but it can be compiled on the ubiquitous Arduino IDE. Of course it can also be run on quite a few other platforms.

It's funny (long time lurker, first/second time poster), I was wanting to build a low-chip-count CP/M machine based on some schematics, and was completely floored that this is being made for the M100! I have a M100 and a stack of M200s I bought from Tandy Assembly that I still need to fix, but I'm

This CP/M solution is going to be absolutely amazing! Is someone planning to show this at Tandy Assembly? I wasn't planning to have a table this year, but if this is going to happen before September, I might want to change my mind and plan to demo this sucker! -Josh On Wed, Feb 5, 2020 at 3:28

Very cool Steve. For M100 CP/M we can use this for external 80x24 video keeping the RS-232 port free for TPDD which is used for migrating files from the net. Philip On 6/02/2020 1:58 am, Stephen Adolph wrote: I've been toying with using the cassette port to send serial data, for use with an

Neat; will have to check it out. Sounds like the perfect answer to redirecting the video to an external terminal/display while leaving the RS-232 port available. And if you're going to use 'real' RS-232 you'll probably have to invert it anyway. m - Original Message - From:

yah interesting. Almost the same approach. I think it is wise to take the TTL signal from the output of the schmidt trigger buffer, rather than from the CPU itself. So in M100 use case that would be inverted TTL. But overall, the same. On Wed, Feb 5, 2020 at 9:47 AM Kurt McCullum wrote: >

Interesting Steve, As I was looking at that I couldn't help but think of the TTL output that the NEC8201 has available on Pin 1 of the cassette port. Looks like you may achieved something very similar. For input you could always look to the BCR port. The two could be used in conjunction to

I've been toying with using the cassette port to send serial data, for use with an external device that only takes input data. Kinda the opposite of the BCR port. The point being - to save the RS-232 port for bidirectional comms. After some experiments, I think it is quite useful. I have been
