To use a tpdd at the same time as a mvt100, you'd have to connect the
mvt100 via the BCR port and not the serial port, and that requires doing
the hardware mod to the 100 to bring an output signal out to a pin on
the BCR port, and that's going to be TTL not RS-232, so the receiver
should be a
It works like the DVI works.
Menu in the LCD.
Apps on the "screen" as defined by the basic command.
Option roms are probably incompatible.
So the utility is really maximized around cpm. And Turbo Pascal but as you
know that is yet more churn.

Thanks Steve,
Got it. Still quite useful and very cool. I don't really know CP/M...
yet. I will go looking for console over serial and CP/M... I will have

M100 "over there", but this will work, too.

One way only.
Mvt100 either as the hardware adapter or the pc app is for display only.
Does not solve the issue of cpm over serial.
Having said that, doesn't m100cpm support console over serial? I thought
it did same as any cpm.

Well, that's an exercise in wild. I'm not sure if I track with the

Connect rs232 to pc port and display 80x24 like a dvi.

In answer to your first question, Will - it’s actually both. There's the
desktop app that lets you use your PC as a terminal (which is the screen shot
you linked to), but there's also an adapter that lets you connect the M100
directly to a VGA monitor (the

The point of this is to give you a bigger more readable display.
A subset of the DVI's functionality.

It sounds like it's a terminal emulator for connecting to the M100 over
serial. But somewhere else I saw it as some kind of adapter to talk to
VGA. I'm guessing it's

102 has carbon impregnated silicone rubber domes like calculator or remote
buttons.
With care it's possible to lift the top of the key switch body off and lift
out the rubber dome, and see if the contacts or button are dirty. Maybe use
some deoxit with a q-tip to clean the contacts, maybe clean

Using a continuity tester you can test it in-circuit to see if it's the
switch or not. If it's the switch, desolder and replace. If it's not the
switch, it's a trace.

As writer of M100 CP/M I can say there currently isn't any user-friendly
way of calling M100 ROM routines from CP/M. However Steve may have
discovered a sneaky access in the BIOS with his extensive experience of
hacking about with the M100.
It's on my to-do list, along with other
