Not likely a tip, just a memory:
In the “old days” back when I was using the M100 in my newspaper business, the
MacPlus and Mac Se printer cable to the Apple pin printer, which we used to
print address labels to mail the paper, was a null modem cable. We simply
reversed the cable — unplugged
Sean,
I've used a Raspberry Pi with my 102, 200, and Commodore 64/Turbo232
cartridge. I just used a standard USB to serial adapter on the Pi, ran
Linux, configured my Pi using this:

and was able to log in over all 3. Works
What software would you recommend on the PC side for that? I run Linux.

I think John has a version of LaddieAlpha for Linux but I'll defer that
to him since my information is specific to Windows.

I'm sure that Kurt' instructions are the best available, but they
assume that you are going to wire up your own cable, definitely not
for beginners. The serial port on the Model 100 is 25 pins so as well
as a null modem cable you will need a 9 pin to 25 pin adaptor.

Sean,
A three wire should work for PC to TELCOM using some terminal software. A
model 200 has a quirk that requires RTS/CTS to be tied together. I sent that
pinout because it works with simple terminal application sending, it also works
with TPDD clients like LaddieAlpha and it also works with
Thanks, John!
I'm working on a couple of things for follow-up:
Connecting via TELCOM and a null modem cable to various computers (PC, Mac,
Raspberry Pi) as a terminal, to do file transfer, etc.
Possibly doing some sort of Bluetooth-to-serial hack to connect to another
system in similar fashion
