If you open them in Notepad you should be able to read them; in the unlikely event that you see a bunch of indecipherable letters and symbols then it really is a tokenized (.BA) file and transferring is a little more complicatedIf your null-modem cable arrangement is correct, it should be straightforward to transfer files back and forth; check this out:http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=Text_File_Transfer_using_Hyperterminaland let us know how you make out (you can use any Windows-compatible terminal program (e.g. PuTTY, TeraTerm etc.) if you can't find a free copy of Hyperterm):There are other ways but that should get you started; you might check out some of the other stuff on bitchin100 while you're there.Good luck!mike ----- Original Message ----- From: John Martin To: m100@lists.bitchin100.com Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2016 7:02 PM Subject: [M100] M100 list question I have a TRS 80 Model 100.

I applied the mapping inone of my PC programs. I was trying to view some stuff with a large amountof "block graphics" in it on a PC and it looked really bad.Are there better fonts that I should be using with M100 text rendered inUnicode? Particularly for the block graphics characters?-- John.-------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...URL: <http://lists.bitchin100.com/private.cgi/m100-bitchin100.com/attachments/20160508/913b8d12/attachment-0001.htm>------------------------------Message: 6Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 09:03:42 -0500From: Steven Ranft <s_ra...@hotmail.com>To: Club 100 Model T <m100@lists.bitchin100.com>Subject: Re: [M100] Null Modem CableMessage-ID: <bay169-w50396098d7a72b4ee51cd08c...@phx.gbl>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Welcome Matt,I have be a member and reading the wealth of info available through the Model-T community for over a year. I have found enough on-line info to keep me busy for weeks straight. But only play and learn a few hours per week now. If you are patient enough to read through it all, almost EVERYTHING you could want to know is available.I am in of favor the new group on Facebook as Public out-reach, Not as the repository of info.Club 100 has been doing a great job collecting and preserving this knowledge for years. I hope it continues to be the GO-TO spot!Sharing the information from the Club 100 site and mail list repositories on other groups doesn't harm anyone.Starting a Yahoo or other group could help spread the word about these wonderful little machines.Any how: THANK YOU!! Bruce James for helping to spread the word! The name of the group is:Retro portable pcs and Palm tops winceIt can be viewed at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/858125747631200/I am not saying you should use the site, but I am saying I can't see any harm in people doing so.BTW: It is NOT specifically dedicated to M100 or Model-T computers. Perhaps there should be a Facebook group that is?But it might reach more people that are unaware of the Model-T if it ISN'T a Model-T specific group!>endSteve Ranft Savage, MNDate: Sat, 7 May 2016 07:46:56 -0400From: oasiscorpmse@gmail.comTo: m100@lists.bitchin100.comSubject: [M100] Null Modem CableHi folks, I am brand-new to both the mailing list and to Model Townership. I did not become aware of these machines until just a fewmonths ago when I was watching some vintage computer reviews on Youtube andcame across a video review of the Model 100. I became fascinated enoughwith the machine that I finally purchased one off of ebay and have beenabsurdly distracted by it since it arrived earlier this week (much to thechagrin of my wife). Anyway, I have been spending a great deal of time onthe club website in order to learn the best way to get started with the machineand determine what the best setup might be for a newbie like myself. While I continue working through that process, I thought that a good startingpoint might be a null modem cable so that I can connect with my Linux-basednetbook. I already have an unused USB-to-serial cable, and a DB25 male connector,so I went out on Amazon in search of a DB9 female connector. I discoveredthat the price of the connector was almost the same as a completed null-modemcable and was wondering if a prefabricated cable (such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000083K2R/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3QIIL8OEWJF44&coliid=I36MV5UPCCATS9&psc=1)would work with a Model 100, --------------------------------- Thomas A.
