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

Non-volatile storage, network connectivity and a bigger display are all easily possible right now with little or no hardware required; why add the complexity of using the system bus, especially the M100 (vs. T102) connector version. The DVI uses the system bus and the cabling has always been a

Ken, Thanks for the quick response! I seem to have misunderstood the design intent of TDock, my apologies. Certainly sounds like you have your hands full. One of my best friends has an autistic sister that she helps care for, so I appreciate how much effort that can be. Best, mark *mark

What do you want it to do? MVT100 exists. https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=VT100 If you want external display and storage, I could possibly create a build of LaddieAlpha with a display window, terminal emulation and some kind of serial line multiplexing. Then any small form factor

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

Guess I'll just ask this every couple years, because I think it would be rad as hell to have a modern dock for the M100. It sounded like Ken had a working prototype a couple years ago, but haven't heard anything since. *mark audacity romberg817.368.9314mark.romb...@gmail.com *
