[M100] ROM disassembly updatec
I'm proud to announce that I finished copying in the M100 and MSX the comments found in the sources of mbasic for cp/m . This makes most of the complex stuff more understandable, just have a look! Moreover the same source can produce M10, M100 or KC85 ROMs identical to the original ones. https://github.com/z88dk/techdocs/blob/master/targets/m100/m100.asm As said comparing the resulting MAPs helps in porting the existing programs to other models. I also succeded in altering the cp/m's MBASIC and get a ZX Spectrum +3 versionh with addedn, grsphics and text cursor posiyioning.

That's what I use.

Re: [M100] 8201A Internal Battery Questions
Sorry, I fixed the inventory level. If you want to use a CR2032 you need to include a diode so keep the computer from trying to charge it.

It arrived and didn't boot with fresh alkaline batteries, so I opened it up. The internal NiCd battery was starting to corrode so I removed it (lucky I caught it now before there was a disaster). Everything else looked perfect internally so I closed it back up and tried booting it again, and it worked perfectly! It's obviously not an issue but I was just wondering if anyone had that happen---it's strange to me that a dead battery being present doesn't boot at all while no battery at all works fine. On replacing the internal battery, according to this email[a] from November both ArcadeShopper and Soigeneris had replacement batteries, however looking now neither of them have any in stock. Does anyone know if they're going to get any more in? I don't mind waiting if it'll just be a while but if they aren't planning on ever getting them back I'll look around elsewhere for one. For alternatives, since the internal battery seems to be recharged from the main battery pack I assume a regular CR2032 would be a no-go, but has anyone tried out soldering in a socket + LIR2032? ~nytpu [a]: http://lists.bitchin100.com/private.cgi/m100-bitchin100.com/2021-November/054669.html -- Alex // nytpu a...@nytpu.com gpg --locate-external-key a...@nytpu.com
