According to the Disk+ manual, using the files on the Disk it is possible to transfer any type of file from the Model 100 to the storage disk, but only if the files on the Disk are on the external drive. Disk+ loads the external file to use in the manipulation of the files on the storage media.

Another prototype. Note that the EPROM sits beside and on the same side as the ROM socket to save space; the empty board space was for the planned RAM chip.

You could get a new EPROM burned and just drop it in to replace the one that's in there now. Plus fix theY2K issue at the same time. buyicnow.com is a really inexpensive way to go. I had two 32k EPROMS made for my T200. It took about a week to get them but they were programmed with the image I s

Just out of curiosity then, does that mean that by installing the main ROM replacement fix REX would run on the machine? I suppose it depends on whether there are actual hardware differences as well? On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 8:03 AM, James Zeun wrote: > Gee wiz I do love Bill for that! :-P > > On 4
