Re: [M100] printer music

Indeed, that was one of my unusual pastimes back in the ‘90s. The Apple ImageWriter II was my axe of choice. One of my housemates would then sample it with his EMU Emax and fold it into other songs. CAM -- C.A. Magaret Sent from my newfangled mobile technogizmo. Please forgive any typos,

Re: [M100] Retrobrighting. To do or not to do?

Agreed. The M100 was originally that off-white color, so I don’t think it will get much whiter than that. CAM -- C.A. Magaret Sent from my newfangled mobile technogizmo. Please forgive any typos, inelegant brevity, or nonsensical auto-corrections. > On Jan 3, 2021, at 05:01, Jeffrey Birt

Re: [M100] Replacement rubber feet / Peg Leggs

I can vouch that the original peg legs tilted the M100 at a much greater angle than the built-in angle of the NEC. I know my sanity has been hotly debated (at least by my family), but I guess this makes it official: I must be bonkers, because I enjoy programming directly on this thing. Grante

Re: [M100] WP-2

I repeatedly had issues with the WP-2 keyboards inserting ghost characters when typing relatively fast (appx. 80wpm or faster). I really wanted it to work as a portable writing tablet, but that issue was a deal-breaker for me. I tend to use an Alphasmart Neo for this nowadays, which is comple

[M100] Spare copy of Lien’s M100 book

Hello folks, In cleaning out the workshop, I found that I have a spare copy of David Lien’s “The TRS-80 Model 100 Portable Computer” that I’m willing to part with for the cost of shipping from Seattle, USA. Any takers? Cheers, CAM

Re: [M100] Dealing with yellowed case

I’ve done some painting of portable electronics (specifically an Alphasmart Neo) with good success. I followed the advice of using automotive spraypaints, designed for dashboards, upholstery, etc. I’m not intimately familiar with the chemistry, but allegedly the paint bonds with the plastic fo

Re: [M100] WP-2 screen issue

I don’t mind the “stiffness” of the WP-2 keyboard, but I can’t stand the “ghosting characters” issue. I’ve been through about four different WP-2s, and all of them would randomly insert characters when I was typing. Absolutely inexcusable for a dedicated word processor. Cam > On Jan 30, 20

[M100] M100 cap kits available? (was: “Stuck!”)

On a related topic, is there an easy way to get a cap kit to perform a complete cap replacement on an M100? (Ideally including the big memory-retention cap.) Such as a preset bill of materials with Digikey? I’ve looked but haven’t found anything. I have four M100s that still have vintage ele
