The I/O module seems like overkill to me. It probably would be heck of a lot easier to turn a TRS 80 into a dumb terminal and just use serial connectivity to a Linux box.

- xchip 3y agothat is what it really is, a serial terminal.
- druid77 3y agoTh I/O module (TRS-IO) is just providing a way for a BASIC programs to send and receive network requests over the serial port. So yes, I’m actually taking the dumb terminal approach. I’m running a python server on a Linux box (AWS EC2) that handles the request then constructs an OpenAI call from there, then passes the response back to the TRS-80.
- Bluecobra 3y agoAh I see. So basically instead of a local Linux box you are piping it to an AWS instance with that card. This was what I was alluding to, in where you are just displaying the shell from the connected Linux host so you don't need to write any software on the TRS-80 itself: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/surfing-the-internet-from-my-trs-80-model-100/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/surfi...
