A couple people (namely Leif and Andrew) may have noticed an increase in call volume this weekend as I've been working on a C= compatible C/G term for the Propeller. I figured since a few Propeller users (including myself) are also "C= heads" that it might be interesting to be able to "dial" from my Microcontroller setup.
To give you an idea of the setup, I have a composite monitor, keyboard, and Ethernet adapter on my Prop-board. I'm using a simulated CBM font which includes about half of the graphics set so far. My text is 16 color with 24x40 text, so you can see how this lends itself to this.
So far, (thanks to Andrew's allowing me to re-connect repeatedly) I have most of the colors working, the upper/LOWER conversion of PETSCII displayed correctly. On the todo list is conversion of keyboard upper/LOWER and graphics. Temporal Vortex is working correctly, and Cottonwood looks 90% but requires the shift key to get input correct.
So as I get further on this, I will release it to the Propeller community, and who knows perhaps you guys will see some calls from that direction as well.
