Hey, Jeff

What do you use to apply the polish?

Ah, that's good to hear Joshua... I was looking for a product for some
units I have. Thanks for that detail!

I had excellent results with the 3-step Novus polish product on my screen 
cover. I used only the second and third steps, as the first step is intended 
for deeper scratches.  In my case I took no special precautions before 
polishing, such as taping off, and simply removed the top cover from my 102 
(which separates from the keyboard immediately, unlike the 100) and tried to 
follow the instructions that came with the kit.

I was surprised at how good the results were.

Re: [M100] How to clean plastic?

[Jeffrey Birt]

Are you wanting to polish the clear plastic? If so, take a look at Novus 
plastic polish. I have used it in the past, and it has worked well for me.

Hello,

 

Got my unit back (from cap rework) and the Deox(sp?) arrived so will be trying 
to fix the POT for the brightness and the memory switch.WIll reply back 
with updates after I've done some work with that.

 

HOWEVER

 

The next question I have is what works to help restore the clear plastic over 
the display (I've heard rumors about using the headlight defog stuff for 
surfaces like that... but no idea if it's safe) and then what to do with the 
white that is both dirty and faded.   Is there a retro-brite approach?  Or 
something better?   I've had the case apart as I work on the other two parts, 
so would be a good time to work on the case...

 

Thanks!

Re: [M100] TS-DOS for Olivetti M-10

[Jeffrey Birt]

Steve,

 

The schematic looks just like the M100, down to the part names. The capacitors 
leak just like the M100 whereas the T102 caps are not a problem. 

 

The RS-232 drive section is like the M100, not the improved T102 version. The 
option ROM socket is a ‘normal’ socket and the SysBus connection is a normal 
header. Seems very much like a repackaged M100. Even the M100 test harness 
works on it. 

This is only the second one I have seen in the flesh though 😊

When I get it recapped I’ll burn a ROM for it and then try to bootstrap TS-DOS 
from the Backpack and see how that goes.

Cool Jeff,

I would value your feedback. I have noticed a couple of things to fix on the 
keyboard mapping.  Please share any things you find that are broken.

Also, I know you have a keenly tuned hardware eye. I think that it is just the 
keyboard that is different.  Do you see any other items?

cheers

whoops one more thing I didn't make clear .  This ROM was patched to match
the M10 QWERY keyboard, not any other layout.

[M100] TS-DOS for Olivetti M-10

[Jeffrey Birt]

Hi all,

 

I recently picked up an Olivetti M-10 which is just a bit different than the
M100. I have been looking for a version of TS-DOS for it but have not found
such a beast. Has anyone ever patched TS-DOS for the M-10?

 

Thanks,
