I think that's in the Wiki.How many different models existed?
I think I'm envious.

We have incoming data!
I released v1.5 which adds support for incoming connections. The connection port is 23. I don't see an easy way to change port numbers at the moment since the ESP8266 sets the incoming port number prior to the app actually running.
I was able to test this with PuttyTel (a telnet only version of Putty). I was able to use the IP for cbmstuff.ddns.net (with my router port forwarding to 198.162.0.104 - my WiModem's IP address) using port 23, and it connects perfectly. I can type back and forth between devices once connected.
If you type +++ and ATH, it hangs up the connection correctly. I have not implemented ATA. Right now auto-answer is always enabled (ATS0=1), and so it automatically connects.
I am not sure how many will use this feature. I am going to look at setting up a BBS now for some real testing.

Monochrome shouldn't be any problem, but even a "reduced" colour palette doesn't make it any more "possible" to avoid colour-clash. If one would go with the "standard" method of employing a bitmap with 160x192 pixels, or the like.In another thread, ral-clan wrote:What about a 40 column PETSCII terminal program without colour (monochrome), or with a reduced colour palette. Would that be possible?
I do like the idea that it could go into full colour 22-column mode for VIC-20 compatible colour PETSCII BBS's.
Ideally those two hardware expansions (userport modem and display adapter at the cartridge port) shouldn't influence each other. Any terminal program, that doesn't do any tricky things like circumventing KERNAL I/O should also work with the 40/80 column cartridges.Anyone know of a terminal program made for the DATA-20 40/80 column board?
Unfortunately, if one uses a 160x192 bitmap on the VIC-I to implement a 40 column scheme, the attribute cells are 8x16 pixels - so you'd not have just shared colours for two characters in a row, but for two by two characters.groepaz wrote:[...] a solution that just uses the last color and applies them to both columns (odd/even) works OK
Not any I know of. However, alterus wanted to start one up:Bobbi wrote:I wonder ... are there any 22 column PETSCII BBSs out there?
