Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Geoff,
would it be possible add another Read Only Variable:
MM.USB to indicate when the Maximite is plugged into a USB host. (This would not guarantee any intelligence on the PC end.)

maybe even an interrupt:
ON USB goto xxxx
MM Basic already sends the welcome message when the USB comes up.

or is there a PEEK that does the job for me?

You could use either of these two:
IF (PEEK(&HBF88, &H5060) AND 1) = 1 THEN PRINT "+5V is on the USB connector"
or
IF (PEEK(&HBF88, &H5060) AND &B100000) = 0 THEN PRINT "There is a valid USB session"


Note that the second one means that there is a computer host connected to the USB (it does not tell you that there is a a terminal emulator running on it - that is much harder).

  Geoffg said   (it does not tell you that there is a a terminal emulator running on it - that is much harder).


Not sure if this is required/helpful but it seems that if you fire "ESC [0c" (that's zero c, and remove the spaces) off at the unknown device at the other end of your USB come serial link. Then if there is a DEC VT100 terminal emulator of some sort at the other end it should respond with "ESC [?1;#c" where the # is a number between 0 and 7.

That's the DEC VT100 DA – Device Attributes ESC sequence.
See: http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter3.html

You could use this to see if you have a live VT100.

Haven't tried it yet.

Mileage may vary depending on how good the emulator is. Linux XTerm does seem to support it
