Re: [M100] T200 and the Year

I don't have direct experience with the 200, but if the date is handled the same way it is on the 100/102/8201a, then it's a ROM thing. An expansion ROM (like the REX#) or a patched 200 replacement rom should be able to fix it. Here's an example of how you can patch a NEC PC-8201a ROM.

Whoops. Should be fixed in a minute. On Thu., Aug. 18, 2022, 8:50 p.m. Jeff Gonzales, wrote: > ready100 is website not working it says:Error establishing a database > connection > > On Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 8:46 PM Jesse Lafleur > wrote: > >> I still like mine more ;) >> HTTPS://ready100.com >>

I don't see any teardown videos for it, though from the side view, it *appears* to have possibility for space. Though with 5V at 1A current draw, it would definately drain some batteries! :-) Ken On 8/18/22 1:52 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: Yeah you're probably right it's purpose built...

Re: [M100] Another slabtop? Or pc screen extension?

Looks super cool, but I'm guessing it has no processor in it and has a simple ASIC chip that converts USB to Video / keyscan. This probably removes any possibility of hacking to be a full-fledged computer. Ken On 8/18/22 1:16 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: Ain't that pretty?

Re: [M100] Writing binary files from BASIC

That was a good guess. The NEC documentation actually makes the same mistake. As you noticed, the snippet I posted calls CHR$(127), "Back Space", which is incorrect, but in a later chapter the error gets compounded: 7. Bad data in DO file > You cannot store data which include a character whose

Re: [M100] Writing binary files from BASIC

Thank you, John. And thanks for the tip on the NEC technical manual . It does look like the best documentation for the Model T! Right away, it explains the problem that started my whole quest for writing binary files: which bytes are not

Re: [M100] Writing binary files from BASIC

Well I think since you're using BASIC you're probably good. I know I've seen LNKFIL needing to be called, I don't know the reason. LNKFIL issue is more likely to originate from 3rd party software since all of this stuff was reverse engineered way back when by different people not necessarily

Re: [M100] Writing binary files from BASIC

Okay, I've written a program which uses the method I proposed above for first allocating space for a .CO file via *SAVEM* and then POKEing directly into it. (As opposed to what I believe is the usual method of clearing space in RAM, poking memory to the RAM buffer, and then saving a copy to a new

Nice overview of the available options among Option ROMs. I wish I'd seen this when I first got my Tandy 200. Brian, it is worth mentioning that your Teeproms also have the benefit of being under a copyleft license (Creative Commons Sharealike). —b9 On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 11:18 AM Brian K.
