This is worth checking out. Do you know if it's different than the utility in the Cleuseau ROM? I always run that when programming, since it has things like .RENUMBER and a compactor (aka "minification.") Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311 K6ABZ On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 4:55

So, you just added T, U, V, W, M, and L and mapped the other T100 codes to VT-100 codes? I suppose I should just download your T100 wedge so I can try it myself. On Sun, Apr 19, 2020 at 11:38 AM Tom Wilson wrote: > So they are all standard VT100 codes? That’s good to know. I know a cou

Re: [M100] Spotted: Tandy PDD on EBay

Actually, now that I think about it, you do NOT need a null modem cable. you just need a F-F gender changer. The T100 is a DTE device, which means the TPDD is a DCE. So you don't need a null modem for that. Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311 K6ABZ On Fri, Apr 17, 2020 at 6:59 PM Kurt
