Re: [M100] Model 100 inspection/repair services (Anthony Coghlan)
I recently bought a Model 100 that hadn't been turned on in years; put in new batteries and it powered up no problem. Obviously this can't be said with all units, but these things seem pretty resilient.

Yeah, I meant DVI. Thanks for the info! Where did you get the two that you have? On Sat, Feb 23, 2019 at 11:15 AM Randy Kindig wrote: > Hi I assume you mean the DVI (disk video interface).

[M100] New M100 owner looking for VDI
I recently got a Model 100, and I was thinking about getting a VDI sometime in the future. Are these units rare? It looks like no one is selling them on Ebay, so that makes me think they're not all-too-common, and perhaps expensive. I'm not looking to buy one now, just asking if it is worth the effort to try to get one in a couple months.
