I've also found the terminal software can make a difference for me... I wasn't haveing great luck with Putty or Teraterm at all...  (First things I tried with my Win10 laptop)   So I pulled out an old CD and copied Hyperterm to my Wn10 machine, and that worked great (as it used to when I used it

  As to converting binary and ASCII BASIC files - the easy way is with the emulator, VirtualT. It can read and write both formats, making it easy to convert back and forth.      Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311  K6ABZ   On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 5:27 PM Eric LK <tr...@lefauve.org> wr

    Going to do this myself when my batteries show up. I haven't dug into the M100 to see how easy/difficult desoldering should be, but one thing you might be able to do to make it easier usually is to snip out the battery first, then desolder and remove the remaining terminal pieces. Less of a

Thanx for the info on this. I have a Model 100 that sometime recently developed a single missing horizontal row of pixels. I was thinking about opening it and possibly heating the strip a bit to try to fix it, which is a common known fix for similar issues with the original Gameboy and I have don
