I've been trying, with mixed luck, to use Meshtastic radio text messaging on some 1980s computers. So far my Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 works the best, but still only half works. I can get text messages into the Tandy but not out. This will have to have a re-visit later! If anyone out there has ideas for how to get this fully working, please let me know in the comments.
Thanks to Meshnology for the nodes and enclosures I was using. You can find them at meshnology.com/?utm_source=gabe_emerson&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=meshnology&utm_content=saveitforparts
