yes .hex is the wrong format. you have to turn them back into raw binaries with a hex2bin. also http://bitchin100.com/wiki/images/6/63/M100_OPTION_ROMS.zip has most of the roms all ready to for REX.  (about the only useful rom not there is crdfil.rom) hoot, guardian etch, and logit are weird,

Hey guys, I got myself a REX. I had no real trouble installing rex, and after a bit of head scratching I think I've got LaddieAlpha more or less figured out. I'm trying to load some option roms though and I'm running into some trouble. When I try to load an option rom in REX it looks like LA is

Serial to MIDI adapters are around - although you'd probably have better luck finding a design and building one yourself than finding a pre-made one. (The serial port being the wrong gender doesn't help things.) The protocol itself is largely the same, but you need level conversion, and the baud

I vaguely recall a few months back someone talking about some kind of MIDI with their M100. I've got a Roland MT-32 and a couple PMA-5s, and I got to wondering how I could interface them to my M100, then maybe write some MIDI player/editor software. Just saw a video tutorial on YouTube

No, it's not on my PC. I was able to load the files out of the 24K RAM image onto the T102, and then make a new 32K RAM image on the REX containing the files I care about. I was going to re-load .CO programs like HTERM from my PC, since those didn't copy out of the RAM image successfully. On

now that a 24k ram image is out of REX and onto your pc, what are you going to do now? REX can't read a 24K ram image into a 32k Machine. Unless I am losing my memory, which could be true. On Sat, Mar 7, 2020 at 1:58 PM Alex ... wrote: > So all I cared about really is the .DO and .BA files,

True. The way to get a 100 online is with a RS-232 terminal adapter, also called a network modem or WiFi modem. I have a WiModem, Which is basically just an ESP8266 with some level shifters and a power supply. The ESP8266 and ESP32 make great low cost terminal adapters, since they have WiFi and

I actually don't think there is a way for REX to figure that out. I would save off the files you want while the computer has its original memory config. Then upgrade the ram, and reload in it. ..Steve On Sat, Mar 7, 2020 at 6:08 AM Josh Malone wrote: > You can copy individual files out of a RAM

You can copy individual files out of a RAM image using REXMGR. I think it's the "file" function. They get copied into working RAM. On Fri, Mar 6, 2020, 11:05 PM Alex ... wrote: > Hey M100 list, > I've had a T102 with a REX for a few years and I finally got around to > stuffing another 8k RAM
