Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

The NADSBox protocol sounds fine to me. No issues with BT or WiFi packets I assume? Speaking of BT, seems to me that there were still some timing issues with TS-DOS and LaddieAlpha over Bluetooth; is everything playing nice now, and is the latest NEWDOS and documentation on line somewhere?

I haven't been doing more with Newdos/BT lately. I can post my latest version though that was working really well over "wan" using getblue on an android phone. On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 4:15 PM, Mike Stein wrote: > The NADSBox protocol sounds fine to me. No issues with

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Hi Lee, On the Model T TX side, sending 8-bits using this approach requires a couple of writes, but not 4. So sending data is faster than receiving data. The way I implemented it in TDock is as follows (and M100 is short for any Model T and EXT means any external comms device): Reading

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Hi John,Thanks for the response. I have a few questions.Can you set up the Pi to start LaddieAlpha without user input? (Headless operation)(So that only a power cable and M100 Serial cable are needed to use it as a TPDD)Can Laddie alpha be configure to write to the USB thumb drive? I found this

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

There's a new version of LaddieAlpha up at http://bitchin100.com/files/linux/LaddieAlpha.EXE This one will allow you to exit LaddieAlpha if you hit ENTER from TELCOM, which lets you get to the operating system command prompt. It was a quick hack... for some devices and for running with the

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

So this is why we can't just connect a parallel port pc drive and make it work. But by using this busy signal line and special code one can send and receive messages. Do does that make the receive side of the process faster for the model T than the send side of the equation or is the same process

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Hi Ken,I saw the Raspberry Pi A is for sale for $20 now!https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-model-a-plus-on-sale/ I have an idea that would be easy, if I could write code I would write a TPDD emulator for the Pi. Perhaps the Pi can handle a copy of LAPDOS in DOSBox running on the PI,

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Yes. Ditto EXACTLY what Ray Lopez said! With NADSBox and REX, it is all done for you. Bob -Original Message- From: M100 [mailto:m100-boun...@lists.bitchin100.com] On Behalf Of Ray Lopez Sent: Friday, November 27, 2015 7:11 PM To: m100@lists.bitchin100.com Subject: Re: [M100]

[M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

I would like to have a NADSBox and REX card. But these items are expensive. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives. If you can buy a Raspberry Pi ranging from $5 to $35. That is very CHEAP for what it can do. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero/ John M > If it made financial

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

I believe it would be a great project to take some mass produced hardware and software and find a way to solve M100 specific problems. That's true open source. I saw that Uber cheap pi. They don't quote power but I believe it is vastly more than the M100 itself. It is all tradeoffs! On

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Actually, I have an idea that would be REALLY cheap, but it's a software effort on the M100 side. It would be a device that connects the M100 directly to a USB port on any PC / Linux / Pi, etc. I would use the device below (STM32 which has 5V tolerant I/O) with some tight ISR code to

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Hi Lee, Well, no that isn't exactly wrong. The 8-bit output port on the M100 LPT connector is in fact output only. However it has 2 input bits ... the BUSY and /BUSY signals. With proper 8085 ASM software and proper ARM software, a 2-bit "bit-bang" read operation can be performed. In

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

This would be a wonderful alternative but years ago I was under the impression that data could not travel into the model 100 on it's parallel port being that it was not a true bi-directional port. Is that wrong? On Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 8:48 PM, Ken Pettit wrote: > Actually,

Re: [M100] Is it possible to use USb flash drive with a Model 100

Hi John, This would be a challenge considering cheap SD card readers are USB and there is nothing to drive USB from the Model T. So to use such a device, a custom board with controller, software, etc. woud need to be developed. This is exactly what NADSBox is, except instead of controlling
