[M100] Portable Computing with the Model 100 by George Stewart - Part 2: Application Programs

Anyone, Picked up a copy of Portable Computing with the Model 100 (26-3820) with no tape. Still looking on Club100.org, but not finding the programs from the book. Thought I had them, but unable to find on my system(s) here. Is there a .ZIP of the programs from this book somewhere in the MT arc

Re: [M100] Interfacing Model 100 with the Real World

Have a look at some of the archived issues of Portable-100 magazine. The OWL was advertised there. It consisted of a M-100 and interface package all mounted in a weatherproof housing. Arduino wasn't even a glimmer in its inventors eye when OWL was around. :-) Regards,Bert On 3/2/23 11:4

You can hook it but the dinner bell is a non maskable interrupt where I live, no kidding. -- John. On Fri, Mar 3, 2023, 10:30 AM Joshua O'Keefe wrote: > > On Mar 2, 2023, at 3:45 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > The dinner bell interrupts you. > > Is there a vector I can hook a routine to? I

Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

basic is parsable, obviously the interpreter has to do it, but the difference is to parse basic you pretty much need a state machine, pretty much the same way the actual interpreter works. You can't really determine what any given digit or double-quote or almost anything is, except by starting fro

Re: [M100] Removing DVI Disk Basic

In my first post in this thread I linked DVI.CAT and the directory it sits in, the peripherals dir in m100sig, and pointed to a couple files described in DVI.CAT, then just noticed more files from the same place that apply to this question. bkw On Thu, Mar 2, 2023, 9:18 PM MikeS wrote: > What
