I just solved a mystery why I was never able to install teeny on a model
200.
teeny-linux has a bug where when it detects a model 200, the next bit of
code it sends has a missing colon, so the basic code dies and
teeny-linux never gets the response it's looking for, and aborts without
sending the 200 version of loader.ba
The original TEENY.EXE packed inside dl-arc.exe DOES work.
I was able to run both dl-arc.exe and TEENY.EXE inside dosbox,
configured to map COM1 to /dev/ttyUSB0, and get TEENY.EXE to send it's
TEENY.200 to the 200, save it in ascii format, and copy back to the host
using teeny itself, and finally add model 200 bootstrap support to dlplus.

Next I would like to see of any of those utils in M100SIG or on the
parts of club100 that are still reachable, can generate relocating
loaders from a co file, so I could add bootstrap support for nec by
processing DOSNEC.CO into a .DO
Maybe even kc-85 and M-10 ?
