There are different cables depending on if you have a 100, 102, or 200. You can get a cable that works on one of those, or a kit that works on all 3 from arcadeshopper. You can also build one. There are links to buy exact parts and pics here http://tandy.wiki/Disk/Video_Interface:_Cable As far

What I think makes sense as a project is to direct efforts towards using the Geoff VT-100 terminal emulator with M100: http://geoffg.net/terminal.html This would be a great complement to M100. I think a great project would be to do some software work to rip into the DVI code, and pull out the vi

That's really disappointing, I wish I had know before I bought it. The whole point of getting the DVI was so that I could continue working on documents at home on a bigger screen. I'd have just as been well to have taken the SD card out of my NADSbox and stuck it in a winblows PC. Anyways I won't

Does anyone know if tsdos is at all compatible with dvi? Dvi installs software of it's own. Does tsdos support access to the dvi? Can tsdos ram version be coresident with dvi software? If the answer is no then you have to do some serious gymnastics to transfer from pc to m100 using tsdos, and t

Would it be possible to copy TR-DOS from the M100 to a floppy? Load it up through the DVI? I've never uninstalled a program, so not sure where F7 comes in to it. Could I not simply KILL the rex manager? I wanted the DVi for typing, but I need the REX for TR-DOS. So I can save my documents to SD CA

Unload means deinstall using F7. Not remove REX. REX can stay installed physically...just deinstall rexmgr.ba. On Wednesday, February 26, 2020, Kurt McCullum wrote: > You can select TS-DOS with REX and then unload the REX manager. That way > it looks to the M100 like a regular ROM is loaded an

You can select TS-DOS with REX and then unload the REX manager. That way it looks to the M100 like a regular ROM is loaded and the DVI should work just fine from there. Kurt On Wed, Feb 26, 2020, at 2:55 PM, Gregory McGill wrote: > well transferring files from a pc with mcomm/laddealpha to dvi

well transferring files from a pc with mcomm/laddealpha to dvi is facilitated by having rexmgr load tsdos.. On Wed, Feb 26, 2020 at 2:46 PM Stephen Adolph wrote: > Yep. > What I would do is make use of the deinstall function on rexmgr when you > want to use dvi. > > Of course I dont know of ma

Yep. What I would do is make use of the deinstall function on rexmgr when you want to use dvi. Of course I dont know of many option roms that work with dvi anyways. What did you want to do that requires both rex and dvi? On Wednesday, February 26, 2020, Gregory McGill wrote: > Pretty sure I

That has been my experience as well. It appears that something done by REXMGR interferes with the loading of DVI DOS. The REX can still be used as an option ROM, but REXMGR cannot coexist. On Wed, Feb 26, 2020, 4:33 PM James Zeun wrote: > Does the REX work with the DVI? > > Only I'm having serio

Does the REX work with the DVI? Only I'm having serious issues getting my recently acquired DVI to work with my M100. It only seems to function with the REX manger is wiped from memory.
