Re: [M100] Bump
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer :-) -- John This week ‘summer’ has officially begun here, temps near 100F and very humid.> > Jeff Birt So the adjective for which we're searching is more "enduring" than "enjoying"? :D This is the kind of weather that taught me the hard way not to store old laptops in the garage. -- -------- Bruce H.

[M100] Lightening the collection... M100 and NEC8201 going on the block
I have got to slim down the old hardware collection. I actually use my T102s, but most of the rest is just collecting sawdust, so... I'm putting up my Model 100 (in the plastic briefcase with the acoustic modem), and an NEC8201 with some books. Email me for details and to haggle out a price. :) Some pics below: http://www.afn.org/~scotsman/photos/forsale/tandy.model100/ http://www.afn.org/~scotsman/photos/forsale/nec.8201/ -- Bruce H.

One thing that would be nice, is a new version of tsdos that avoids all the special 80c85 opcodescompatible with 8080. Then it could run on z80 as well. Even a patched teeny would be fine I suppose. It's so cool to see a visionary really sinking his teeth into a project! A Z80-ified ModelT running CP/M and ZSystem... I just had an inspiration: embed something like the um, what was it called, TinyTerm?, module inside the case with a video out jack that would let you plug in one of those cheap tft displays off eBay to get an 80x24 terminal... -- Bruce H.

I actually like the clickety clack of the keyboard I remember encountering my first M100 in class in the early 80s. The guy using it had done the rubber band trick to quiet the keyboard during class. He got the rubber bands from an orthodontist. -- Bruce H. McIntosh bhmcint...@gmail.com www.afn.org/~scotsman WA4UF Network geek with a strong affinity for Telecasters

I'd be tempted to tell you to hang onto the 102. I find my 102 very handy for taking notes, writing stuff, and logging during contests, Field Day, etc. Nothing out there can touch the battery life, and the fullsize keyboard is very nice to type on. -- Bruce H.

[M100] Problem installing REX 4.9 rev 136
Trying to upgrade my 32k T102 from 4.8 to 4.9r136 (because 236 is buggy, according to Mr. Adolph). Folowing the upgrade instructions on http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REX_Release_4.9 , when I get to step 4, I do the CLEAR command in BASIC, exit, and run RFx49.CO . It beeps and drops me right back to the menu, and when I run REXMGR I'm still on version 4.8. I'm using dlplus on my linux machine as an emulated TPDD; my real TPDD bit the dust long ago. -- Bruce H.

Re: [M100] OS9 for M100?

Earlier today I was watching some Youtube videos on CP/M, which reminded me of OS/9, and that got me wondering. OS9 is re-entrant and position independent, multi-user and multi-tasking. The original OS9 was designed to operate in 64k of ram. OS/9 had a lot of stuff that relied utterly upon the 6809 CPU's architectural quirks. It was eventually ported to the 68000 and 80386. The 8085 might be a bit of a stretch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9 -- Bruce H. McIntosh scots...@afn.org www.afn.org/~scotsman WA4UF Network geek with a strong affinity for Telecasters
