The intention was to have two things: First, start with the remote monitor. Once it works reliably, add a second layer - a binary protocol - to communicate directly with the monitor core, thus, preventing you having to parse the output and give commands (which can change, btw.) And: Yes, an external monitor was exactly the reason why this was written. In fact, I had two interested: An external monitor like it is described in this thread, as well as having the possibility to debug OpenCBM code w/o actually using a CBM floppy drive (that is, using the floppy drive from VICE instead of the real one). Having said this, I have not touched this code for some time, and others have fixed some of the issues. ("Fixed" in the sense that it is now a resource hog, taking 100% of one CPU core as long as the remote monitor is active...) I started this feature, but lack of time prevented me from making it actually usable. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
