[M100] TSDOS + page fix

2020-04-28 Thread Joshua O'Keefe
Does anyone have a M100 TSDOS rom image with Ken's page down fix? Or instructions on what to patch? The one Kurt used for SARDOS has it, but I'd like to have a TSDOS-only rom on hand if possible. I'll come around to learning SARDOS eventually but I'm not there yet.

This whole thread is actually making me kinda mad now. I had chalked my destroyed trackpad up to my own failure to maintain the batteries, although I was surprised because I didn't think they were that old. I was kicking myself and thinking "well that's what you get old man." Nothing Apple

For me it was always costco duracell. Last year and this time. Different packs though. I ordered a set of radio shack batteries so they're on-hand now. I returned my other duracell pack. I am thinking that duracell is packaging factory seconds for costco distribution. On 4/28/20 12:41

HI Jim - Yeah that was my last straw. Last year I had some fresh batteries that I had put into my noise cancelling headset for my plane. The night before a trip. We were piled in and ready to go when I put my headset on and the power light didn't turn on and i didn't hear the hiss. Mind

Eneloops don't seem to suffer unduly from leakage. So far. Almost all this stuff is made in China. In China, nothing is ever thrown away. Including rejects from manufacturers supervised by "1st-World" corporations... Guess where rejects end up... ... On 4/28/20, Joshua O'Keefe wrote:

I'll add to the choir, but re: Duracells in general. I'm not a Costco member, so I tend to purchase my alkaline batteries from hardware stores, etc., and I had a dismally bad run with Duracells a few years ago. I switched to Energizer, and I've only had maybe one leakage since. (And that

I've started to go "off" the Costco Duracells as well, for similar reasons. I recently had leakage suddenly appear multiple times in recent history. I don't know if they have changed their manufacturing processes or if it's just the grade of battery that Costco is sourcing from them, but I've

That’s interesting. I had a bad battery leakage issue recently. It was in an Apple Magic Trackpad and was so bad I could not get the battery cover unscrewed at all. I broke the glass trying and so I just threw the whole thing out. I don’t know for sure if it was Costco Duracells but we often

My advice is to keep your eyes open and just be patient. I got a perfect T-102 on EBay for less than $100. I just kept looking every day and jumped on the auction when it came up. I've found some nice items over the last few weeks, including two Model T computers (I've already passed one along to

Personally, I prefer the Model 100. I have had several Tandy 102s with defects that were hard to repair. Model 100 seems to be more reliable long term. Other than that, yes, the T102 is a nicer form factor. On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 11:49 PM David N. Hughes-Robinson wrote: > Hello!! > > I have
