Re: [M100] M-102 keyboard flat ribbon cable

Thanks Brian for the detailed instructions. It was the "multiple tries" that likely did me in -- the ribbon developed a kink that I could not straighten out. I happened to flip the cable and noticed that some metal traces had moved, then I said a lot of bad words and put the thing away. I'll

[M100] M-102 keyboard flat ribbon cable

Hi, Watching all the recent activity about the bad memory battery replacements scared me sufficiently to go ahead and open up my M-102 and M-100 to check them. I did, and sure enough the battery in the M-100 had started to corrode but luckily with very little reaching the motherboard, so I

Thank you Josh, for an excellent install video. Can't wait to get my (4MB) unit :-) When I saw CP/M start I did the same as you: "That is SO COOL!" -- Brings back good memories. Cheers,Bert On 7/29/20 8:25 AM, Josh Malone wrote: > The stream video is still up -??

Re: [M100] Troubleshooting M102 (Was: M102, Black Screen, Help!)

Hi Alan, I'm with Jeff on this one. So far you've shown that you've tested voltages, cables, even the LCD contrast pot, but you haven't really talked about the logic side. You mentioned you replaced all the RAM (even installing sockets), as well as re-capping the board, but so far I haven't

Re: [M100] REXCPM orders update

Nah, I don't trust the M-100 for long term storage, whether it is REX-equipped or not. :-) Where my M-100 or M-102 goes, the NADSBox goes with it, always. And I make a point of saving off anything I don't want to lose to the NADSBox. Having said that, the REX is incredibly robust, holding on to

Re: [M100] REXCPM orders update

Hi Steve, I'm happy with a 2Mb unit. Still much better than 390K floppies on the Kaypro (even if they are emulated! :-) ) And I'll echo "r cs"'s sentiment -- go enjoy Summer while it's here. None of this is urgent from my perspective, and certainly not worth sacrificing personal/family time to.

Re: [M100] REXCPM orders.

Also, I'm not concerned about the 8.3 vs. 6.2 filename format since that is no more difficult to manage than I have now with the NADSBox. So it's a non-issue for me. Regards,Bert On 6/12/20 4:23 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > > On Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 2:01 PM Brian White

Hi Steve, Is this the Z80 unit? I'm interested in running Turbo Pascal (I already have a Kaypro 2X to run it on but it's not exactly "portable" :-) If this is the Z80 version then I'm definitely interested. Thanks. :-) Regards,Bert On 6/8/20 9:05 PM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > Thanks for

Hi, I'm not sure that the distro is as important as the version of FLTK that comes with it.  Some  distros distribute older versions of packages than what the developer built their application with.  Anyway,  just my 2 cents worth. :-)Cheers,     Bert Original message From:

Re: [M100] External Power for T102.....probably asked before....

I'm a bit late to the party but I use a 6V lantern battery (one of those big cubes) and a holder designed for it. It will last years at the current draw that the M100 has -- in fact, the battery started leaking before I drained all the power from it. :-) No damage -- I removed the battery from
