Re: [M100] Terminal for Mac

I use Serial as well. I used to just use the native terminal but had some issues with a piece of network equipment. Also, typically if I'm connecting to the serial console on a peice of gear at work it's because there is a problem and Serial makes it easy to just connect and go without trying to

[M100] LCD Lines

I've had a Model 102 for years that I enjoy tinkering with and I've often thought I should pick up a Model 100 as well but never had a real need. Now with new forthcoming REXCPM on the horizon I figured I might start watching eBay looking for a deal. I ended up picking up a nice clean (on

I've been eagerly awaiting the REXCPM just for something to tinker with. I've never really used CPM before and thought this would be a good opportunity. But I wasn't aware of the serial terminal possibilties. This sounds amazing. I also had never realized there were simple serial to VGA options
