But if I hooked the modem directly to the serial port on the VT100, then my Model 100 would not be able to perform macros and automation in the MUD.?? :-D?? I have the Model 100 involved, so I can run AI. On 9/9/2019 9:13 PM, Ian Eure wrote: I guess you???re using the modem built in to the M100

Hello Jeroen, We haven't heard from you lately.?? The model 100 bus and option ROM port are useful, as are the bar code reader port, etc. I highly recommend that you ensure that your sound emulation is good -- music/sound processing is one of the "killer apps" for me.?? :-) On 6/2/2018 4:04 A
