Has anyone ever back-lit an M100? I try to keep my mods minimally invasive
on old hardware, but I was thinking about trying to add back-lighting to my
M100 using a technique similar to the one shown here:
https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-LCD-backlight/
Anyone on here ever tried something like
Is there a loader for NEC TSDOS? My 8201A doesn't have an option rom, but I
can transfer DO files to it from my M100.

I finally got my NEC PC 8201A working last night, and I with all the fun
I've been having with REX on my M100 I was wondering if REX3 is available
anywhere.

Thanks! You guys are awesome!

Can I call the Rexmanger from a BASIC program? Something like:
10 CLEAR 0,60170
20 REXManager

When I try to run TS-DOS from the Ultimate ROM II(v2.12) I get the error
"Not found". Do I need to load a separate binary for TS-DOS? I haven't
found one yet , but I still have a lot of stuff to look through.

I was excited when I came across Ultrascreen100, and it worked great when I
loaded it, but after loading it if I try to run the Rexmanager the screen
blanks out and the only resolution seems to be cold starting it.
Is Ultrascreen100 incompatible with REX or am I doing something wrong?
-Jason
Thanks!

Hey guys, I got myself a REX. I had no real trouble installing rex, and
after a bit of head scratching I think I've got LaddieAlpha more or less
figured out. I'm trying to load some option roms though and I'm running
into some trouble.
When I try to load an option rom in REX it looks like LA is

I was loading the file through Virtual T. and running it just fine. Is it
VT automatically converting it to a tokenized basic file?

There were a few transcription errors in this, but I was able to debug it
and get it running. I've attached my revised version of the code.

Hey guys, I got a Simple Wifi RS232 modem from Etsy, and I'm having some
trouble if any of you are familiar with this sort of device. I've messaged
the maker about it but I haven't heard anything back yet and my attempts to
google a resolution have come up short. It seems to be a problem with the
Hey guys. I got a NEC PC-8201A awhile back and I've had some trouble with
it.
When I first got it, it to worked fine for a few minutes then the screen
blanked and it wouldn't respond. I tried a number of things including
replacing the internal battery but nothing seemed to work.
Later I heard of
Thanks guys

Hey guys, is there anyway to make a copy of a BASIC file so that you have a
backup other than saving it to another machine or external storage?
Per the manual :
In the Model 100 there usually is no backup copy. You
should make one for important documents as early as
possible.
But that seems
The switches both check out. I feel like I'm running out of simple
solutions.

I replaced the internal NiCd in my 8201A that was DOA from eBay, but I have
been unable to elicit any sign of life from it. The NiCd was definitely
garbage, with almost no current output and a fair amount of green crud on
the positive side, and I believe my replacement was done well enough. I
, but it works. If
anyone has any suggestions to make it better I'm always ready to learn.

So far no luck trying to revive the battery (if that's the problem). I'll
order a new NiCD to see if that helps.

Hi guys, I'm a long time fan of the site but only just got on the mailing
list.
I've been fiddling with an M100 for awhile but I felt like it was lonely so
I found it a NEC PC 8201A on ebay to hang out with.
Today I got my "new" 8201 in the mail, and was excited to find that it came
