Re: [M100] Subtle differences among various Model T models

This thread was interesting. Is there a table on some wiki that compares the three models? There were quite a few things I learned. I knew there was a difference in the RAM size for the Model 200, but I didn't know why. I also didn't know the other models couldn't bank switch. Other things I

Thanks! Yep, it’s very well-built and I’m looking forward to digging into it once I (finally) put together my MVT100 kit that you sent me months ago! (I’m perhaps too cautious…) By chance, is Mo still associated with King Computer Services (that’s one of the companies mentioned in the credits

Quick update on my (previously mysterious) Gold 7.10 chip. I dusted off the corresponding hardware (an interesting case with two 256Kb IC cards that plugs into the system bus) and was able to get it working. It offers two banks of 256Kb storage plus some utilities to format and test IC cards,
