Yes, the M100 caps always need to be replaced. The RS232 output puts a significant load on the -5V which makes for flaky LCD and RS232 operation. If there are any traces under/around the caps that look dark they need to be mechanically cleaned and neutralized (if corrosion was bad) to stave off

This is even detailed in the entry for STR$ on page 182 of the Model 100 manual. There is a blank if positive, a minus if negative, and this turns up on many early Microsoft products. Thanks, Bill. On Sun, 9 Jul 2023 at 19:24, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > Less messy... or at least faster: > >

Hi Jeff, Thank you - I noted my serial # was after the 30601 mark, and verified the 330 ohm resistors are in fact on my board. I then took a closer look over the board and noticed just about every electrolytic cap leaked. The flipflop near the power supply area was also warm, so I

Hey Jesse - congrats on getting the model T! They make great packet stations for sure. The issue you are describing sounds like a flow control one. Depending on what TNC you are using you should be able to activate XON/XOFF. On my old Timewave I think the command is XFLOW ON. Then just ensure
