[M100] bar code reader

So I got a M100 bar code reader off ebay! For the first time in not-long-enough I had to try to load programs off tape. This is something I've never had nostalgia for, and today I've been reminded why. :-( Does anyone have an intact copy of PLESY.CO? That's the one file I couldn't get off the

Why not use TS-DOS and LaddieAlpha? http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=LaddieCon Or one of the various other methods: http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=Model_T_File_Transfer Could even use Bluetooth and forget about that null-modem cable ;-) m - Original Message -

Thanks, Jonathon. I'm good on diagrams--I still have the original manual, plus what I have scrounged through Club 100 and after-market books. At least I know 'your' diagram really works. -Original Message- From: Jonathan Yuen To: Model 100 Discussion

Thanks for the in-depth reply, Jonathon. You reminded me, once again, why I never should have done The Great Purge two years back. Packratitis is good! I threw away several truck loads to the recycling center. Lots of a ton of 8- and 16-bit cards (serial, parallel, etc.), as well as boxes of

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

I actually went through the cable box and found a cable with a DB25 that would plug into the M100, cut off what was on the other end, and used an ohmmeter to find what color went to what pin, and soldered it onto a DB-9 to make the null modem cable to plug into the FTDI usb thing. I think I

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

I just did a search on eBay for a Belkin F3x171-10. Only listing that came up was selling for $50. Yeah, not going to happen. I'll look around to see if anyone sells the cable for a reasonable price, but chances are high I'll end up making up a DB25-to-DB9 cable set. I sure wish I hadn't

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

Hello, Sorry, I thought you were using a real UART on the PC. Remember the 8250? I use USB to RS-232 adapters, and haven't connected to a real RS232 port on the PC side for maybe 10 years. One which I've used is just a USB to serial adapter that I generally use to connect to a Raspberry Pi.
