Oh and you should be able to set the various terminal properties in inittab
so you can do
getty /dev/tty1 38400 vt52 40 25
(the speed will get ignored for a console obviously)

Re: Bootstrap and boot blocks
The use of '/' as a switch is a DOS thing. Unixlike OS's use '-'. So stty -h would have been the thing to try. Control-S/Q will eventually do flow control if xon/xoff is enabled. Right now that's not implemented at all (RTS/CTS is for a few serial ports). The CFX-II video will also at some point mag...

Re: Bootstrap and boot blocks
What does
printenv
and
stty -a
show
I suspect it's just a good old fashioned bug so I'll try and test it on my Memotech when I get a moment.

Re: Bootstrap and boot blocks
TERM=vt52 export TERM (will work nicely for the 40 col screen, the 'real' 80 col display but not yet the propellor one) You can also set the screen size with stty cols 80 stty rows 25 or similar. If it still misbehaves please let me know. I'd expect the adventure games to 'just work' on the 40 colum...

Re: WTB: MTX-512, Floppy + RS232 for PLATOTERM dev.
I think you'll have rather more luck with the emulator than finding actually hardware - especially floppy disk hardware ! At least unless you have a very large budget. memu can emulate the serial port although it would need a little bit of hacking in dart.c to make it open a socket to irata instead....

Re: Bootstrap and boot blocks
The VDP: ??? is a bit odd - is that repeatable and just a bug in your memu or something else I wonder. With the real machine it seems to detect reliably and also with the older Memu I am running ? I've updated the image again. It now tries to do a few other things like detect and use the MTXplus tur...
