System bus on T102 is hamstrung compared to M100. T102 can only support IO read write whereas m100 exposes both memory and io. The bus runs at full speed. Every cpu cycle on M100 could run on the expansion bus. For IO only as in the T102, your ability to read or write is limited by the software

Hey Mark, TDock was an idea for a Pi Hat PCB to interface with the M100 Printer port and then use the RaspPi as the display interface.  I developed a PCB and even built one and wrote some M100 software, but it never got any farther than that.  There were some grumblings about using a RaspPi
