Re: [M100] CP/M keyboard

2020-10-28 Thread Philip Avery
I see your point, Steve. What I could do is have a function key to select between say STD, VT100, USER key maps. USER could be user-definable as we may encounter software which isn't configurable. Similarly with the video output for the M100 LCD. I was envisaging STD, ADM3a, USER. (ADM3a was

I may have mentioned in the past that I like to keep most services running on my deskside server in containers. This is mostly to keep the base OS installation as vanilla as possible to make it easy to replace. Since I spent some time over the weekend to play with mComm Python and Kurt has

[M100] CP/M keyboard

2020-10-28 Thread Stephen Adolph

Hi Bert, Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that I could do this. I did try a command like import ws33/ws.in .ini and I got a rather bizarre CPM file name and no real content so I assumed it always went to the root. Changing the directory with TS-DOS will be fine until import.com is
