I used a $25 xilinx programmer and all free software and a 10 year old
netbook to flash the xilinx.
And a Model 100, $3 Monoprice 479 cable, $10 generic usb-serial adpter, and
that same netbook to load the REXMGR image.
I can help get that going if the sketchy pointers on tandy.wiki aren't good

It appears to be a multi-ROM switcher from Portable Computer Support Group, and
the three-sided board surrounding the option ROM socket looks like PCSG’s RAM
banks. Looks to be in fine condition, but
As far as REX's convenient memory bank backup mechanism, yes having what
you mentioned gets you somewhat close due to the easy nature of
transferring files to/from the NADSBox. But for REX's multi option-rom
capability, the only thing that gets you there is a multi-ROM bank which
never seems to b
With a NEC PC 8300 upgrade to 3 Banks of Ram, plus a Ultimate ROM II and a
NADSBox - it's not REX but pretty darn good, no?

I'd probably pay double that for a REX3 for the NEC to be completely
honest. I love them on my M100s, but it is painful *not* to have the same
capability on my main "enthusiast" machines of which I am known for...

Yeah, kind of tongue in cheek. I don't think this validates a market price
of $850 for REX.
But it's probably more than what Steve was (kindly!) c
The unit that went for $850 was for its collectability rather than
functionality, no?

By test do you mean program and validate?
I'm willing to help *build* REX units, I just don't have the equipment to
program or test them. I'm getting a decent repair/mod bench set up. Did
some work on an Atari 800xl yesterday.

professionally for much less than that :-)

Whatever it is, it sold for $850.

Judging by the cheat sheet in photo 6, I'd say that has to be some sort of
bank-switched RAM/ROM board. Probably RAM from the presence of what looks
like a backup battery stuffed in there.
