The Windows version fixes the asterisk filename problem and adds the RAM

The Android version is identical, with just the addition of Sardine for the 100.

I've got a 3F supercap (from Mouser, IIRC) in one of my 8201a's,

Not sure how long they'll keep RAM alive - Weeks, at least, IME.
My MO is to use Eneloops in the battery pack, which again IME,

Need the 2pin version. They also have a 3pin version which will not fit the Ts.

While on the subject, where is a good place to obtain a replacement
nicd/nimh for the M100? I have a supercap in mine just because they are
easy to find (I think mine came from Amazon).

It hasn't been a problem mainly due to the m100 user not naming their files
with asterisks in it. Unfortunately, T-Base does so I made the tweak for one
character. the "*" ---> "^". This is a simple fix and it works. As Brian
pointed out, any other TPDD server can still read the file. Worse case
Well, it looks like Windows uses Unicode for filenames in NTFS. FAT uses
the OEM character set.
The special characters are
'\', '/', '.', '?', and '*'
It wouldn't be a big deal to map those to/from other characters in
LaddieAlpha since I already maintain a filename mapping table for various

AFAIK, the asterisk is not a valid character in a Wind

I agree I replace all mine with NiMH they are a) easy to get (at the moment)
and b) are a direct fit into the old spot.
As someone said it is nice to remove the AAs and come back later and be at the
same point. Although if I store a unit for a long time I turn off the backup
too.

Since your DVI is working now, maybe you can get to it sooner?
I'm not asking why replace the old battery. I'm asking why use a cap if it
will have the same disadvantages plus an extra disadvantage of only
delivering a fraction of the run time?

IMHO you should check them for correct voltage and replace them as
necessary. If allowed to discharge, they may corrode and damage the
PCB. I think the feeling around here is that the correct supercap may
be better than the nicad battery, as well as the fact that the nicads
are getting hard to find

If you aren't going to use a solid state cap that can't ever leak a
corrosive substance onto the board, then why trade a sleep time of months
for a sleep time of days?

Is asterisk the only "bad" character that can ever appear in a filename
produced by a M100?
The standard encoding was for 2 reasons:
1: Handle any possible kind of unwanted data, not just the single thing you
percieve today.
2: When you encounter the munged file by itself, it has meaning and you
My two cents worthŠ.
In terms of supercaps it depends on the type. If they are electrolytic
supercaps then they have a lifetime of about 10-20 years, the same as
NiCds, depending of course on how they are used. If they are abused
thermally or electrically then they have to be derated and their l

I do not have a DVI but your question raised my curiosity……
Do you have a copy of the DVI service manual (hopefully the link works):

The service manual has some operational descriptions of how the DVI is

Now, should I be worried? Most of the machines I have are simply in storage.
