Is it even possible to know that at this point?
The Apple II is painted metal... the M100 is an unpainted plastic whose
shade darkens/yellows over time. Even if you were to color match the
original, it wouldn't color match with anyone's M100 today, I'd think.

I think it's still possible.
Both of my M100s are very "pale" and seem to match the photos in the
magazines I have rather well!
In addition, this knowledge may have been known, just like the Apple II was
determined without resorting to colour analysis of 40 year old paint.
Was just hoping someone h
Probably one could open one up, sand the plastic (on the inside) to reveal the
original colour, and then take it to a paint store that can read colors. They
need a big enough spot to measure, but then you can get an NCS code that should
match. We've done that with paint samples for our house,
I would also guess there is not one single correct color but a small range.
Typically, the raw plastic used will be produced by different companies at
different times to a specification. There will be variations even lot to lot
from the same manufacturer.

Though smoothing out transmit probably matters less, practically, than
smoothing out receive. Given the model t's small receive queue and timing

Personally I think the rechargeable battery design is one of the model t's

Thanks for the info, John.
I try to find a solution for keeping my PC-8201A intact in the next
years. Of course, 3,6V NiMH Battery is much better comparing to
original 3,6V NiCd one.
But even NiMH can leak, and i want to minimise risk of mainboard
failure.
I will see how it performs in a couple of
I put a 1F supercap in my 102 several years ago. No complaints! It does
not have the capacity of chemical storage, but it charges over the
course of a few hours, holds its charge beautifully, and for brief power
outages or the time to change batteries, it works great. It holds my 32k

I can transfer a few files from the directory I am running Laddiealpha from

Hello collegues!
as some forum collegues told me, it is a good idea to use a
Supercapacitor (5,5V / 1F) instead of new NiMH memory battery.
I soldered this cap instead the battery, let it "charge" couple of
minutes and tried after couple of hours to switch on.

I ran a packet station on the Iditarod Race start line in 1987. the
equipment was a Yaesu FT221R transceiver a MFJ 1270 TNC and a Model 100.
We were the backup for the starting timer. Great Fun and a Little cold.
