Interesting discussion, but it's all a little like saying which came first "chicken or the egg." Without BASIC the model 100 would have no charm at all. BTW: I see from the auction link for the Bill Gates Model 100 that it sold for around $30K. That reminds me of many Ebay auction prices I've

Re: [M100] Planning out some weekend projects.

Your project "todo" list is very concise. Reviewing the "Retro-Printer", you will also have to purchase, set up, and learn the Raspberry Pi ecosystem to use it. A humble alternative is to redirect the printout from your model 100 via a null modem cable to an empty file on your personal computer

Re: [M100] Another slabtop? Or pc screen extension?

Regarding the "slabtop" from the orig. post. Looking at it from a price vs. performance standpoint it may be better (& cheaper) to buy a tablet and Bluetooth keyboard. That would give versatility, choice of OS and "more bang for the buck". I could change my mind based on an excellent mechanical

[M100] Building Virtual T For Linux Mint?

Hi: I'm new to the Virtual T emulator. Can one use the build procedure for Ubuntu as outlined in "Bitchin100" for Linux Mint (as it was developed from Ubuntu)? Or are there alternate steps to build for Linux Mint? I rarely post to the forum so bear with me. Thanks Dave NV3F

This morning I was pondering if one could run CloudT Offline? Possibly using something called "NodeJS", that is to run javascript offline, maybe on a raspberry pi? Just a thought any other ways of running javascript and CloutT offline? Thanks Dave S.

Yes, I have been looking into Ftdi and max232 since I'm getting into a homebrew (i.e. serial) Arduino project as of late. This has similar problems to communication with a m100 type machine. How many of these cables, dongles would the community need per year? Thanks Dave NV3F On Wed, Dec 2,
