I figured it out, to a point. I was using mComm to inject TS-DOS via RUN"COM:98N1E" but after it loads I can no longer CLEAR 1000,62000 (even if I delete TS-DOS.BA). However, I *now* know that the CLEAR command works fine from a clean M100 (as it should), and I determined that loading it via TEENY does work properly. I am able to get RXCMGR 1.0 to install fine now, but when I "install" a ROM image (ie.TSD101) from REXMGR the machine locks up. I can hit reset to recover but everything in memory is gone at that point. I did run the RXCTST and it reports no issues with memory. I can say that the last version ran fine, so I'm unsure of what to try next (and curious about the cause).
