Hi Gary; I'd be happy to have someone share putting up the money for everything. If you don't think rex is as an attractive an idea, I'm willing to bear that burden alone, and we could split nads and woolly costs between us.
Glad to have you aboard! ray ________________________________ From: M100 <m100-boun...@lists.bitchin100.com> on behalf of Gary Weber <m100l...@gweber.org> Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2017 3:41 PM To: m...@bitchin100.com Subject: Re: [M100] Model T upgrades Ray, If you feel compelled to contribute to another production run effort, I guarantee you that you are not the only one interested in sharing in that contribution. Here's my take on things: NADSBox -- I think there probably is quite a bit of interest in this product even today. I'm willing to bet there would be at least 10-15 immediate pending sales on this given the interest I've seen on this list alone. REX -- This might be interesting as well, however it sounds like WOOLLY would likely be a better place to put engineering effort & dollars. WOOLLY -- I'm betting the majority of folks on this list would likely want one of these. If I had to pick only one product alone to focus on and bring to market, I'd pick this one! REX functionality, RAM expansion (for CP/M), and WiFi capability. All of that would be amazing to have in one piece of hardware that can fit into an Option ROM socket. We're talking about a potential replacement for all of the ReMem and REX variations that existed previously, and then some. I'm willing to contribute significantly to the effort to bring any and all of these products to life (for the second time for REX & NADSBox of course). And when I say contribute, I don't just mean encouragement & testing & labor. I'm talking about financial. :) Probably the areas I can best help in would be fronting a good chunk of the costs for sourcing of parts & production, and then also on the eventual fulfillment. (Either hosted on Club100.org or on Web8201.net or some other central hub, doesn't matter. I can definitely assist on the eCommerce end.)

This is when I was having them built and assembled in China. I probably still could have them built and assembled there, though it is a bit more challenging since I no longer live there. Turns out I am traveling to China next week and will be visiting Shenzhen for 5 days! YEA!!! Maybe I could visit my old haunts while there (in fact I am looking forward to it). One of the concerns with NADSBox is that I need to update the layout a bit to select a different SD card socket ... the socket used in the last round of NADSBoxes was acquired from a Chinese source with no real part number or way to track it. So the footprint is specific to that part which is no longer available. I am working actively on Woolly which would replace REX and in a way, NADSBox, via TPDD access to a host via WiFi. But this is still a big development effort, both in terms of hardware and software. If you still wanted to put up the cash after reading this, we probably wouldn't need to build 240 NADSBoxes as demand isn't what it was in 2009, but it would still be in the $8K - $9K range I would guess for NADSBox alone. I don't know for REX. Ken On 7/28/17 7:05 PM, ray gordon wrote: I'm willing to put up the cash necessary if Ken & Stephen would be willing to do another run of NADS & REX.

If I'd known of the Club 100 site, I'd have purchased one there. There's some yellow on this one, but the memory appears maxed out (installed internally), so wasn't a bad find overall. I've used a color computer 2 for years, and love it, and decided to try out the Model 100. Love it so far. >From the Club 100 site, I saw that there used to be NADSBox's available as >well as REX modules. I'm emailing to find out if it's still possible to purchase these? I'm also trying to track down the little legs that can prop up the Model 100. I'd really appreciate any help anyone can provide. I didn't want to try ordering from the Club 100 site, because I wanted a confirmation before I did. thanks, Robert
