There are a few other ROMs with application software on them, most available from the Wiki at http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REX#Option_ROM_Images_for_Download with the exception of SARDOS, which Kurt uploaded to the member library at http://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?&direction=0&order=nom&directory=Kurt%20McCullum I am using the fixed TS-DOS "4.10" (that works with multiple pages of files) that was posted to the list recently, loaded from TSLOAD in RAM. I was previously using TEENY because of the RAM footprint of keeping TS-DOS (a.k.a. DOS100.CO) available at all times, but when Kurt posted a working TSLOAD the other day I switched to keeping that installed instead. I couldn't find the program anywhere on the Internet, so it was a great boon! With TSLOAD, you keep the DOS100.CO on "disk" and just run TSLOAD to start it off the disk whenever you need the to use the UI. It's a nice way to limit the weight of the DOS in memory when you don't have a DOS in ROM. As a relatively new user, this was kind of an interesting journey to go on, especially since all the latest and greatest bits aren't really all in one place, and while there's heaps of documentation out there it's pretty fragmented and sometimes assumes a bunch of prior approaches that people aren't using as much. When my REX shows up, I'll go through it all over again to learn what ROM I want to use on a primary basis. My T102 is for using! I'm definitely curious what kind of software and ROM loadout folks use on a daily driver basis. >
