That's a long story I answered already a couple posts back. I found 2 different versions on M100SIG, one is missing files compared to the other. I also found essentially a file listing of the top level dir of the Merch archive, from an early time when it was hosted via http instead of ftp. While

Merch probably refers to Roger Merchberger. GAFiated. I don't know his current email but you could message him on Facebook. Do you have the M100SIG zip file? -- John.

Gahh, it's supposed to be in the "utility" directory in there! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.tandy/7_nmCcm2ito "Tandy 600 software archive: http://www.30below.com/~zmerch/classics/Tandy600 The program from the ROM is in the Utility directory." But Archive.org doesn't have that

Archive.org has at least an index of that lost "Merch" archive. Looks like a lot of overlap with the Tandy 600 dir in th M100SIG archive, but not identical. Sadly I can't get into the directories. The "hhos" dir might be the system roms, since the system rom was called HHOS, hand held os. http://w

Oh cool maybe I can skip the 1400LT step then. Another reason I got it though was to see if the floppy drives were similar enough that one might work inside the 600, or vice versa, maybe the drive in the 600 might work in the 1400LT, to find out whether it's the drive or the 600 that's bad.

I'll have to read more to find out what a !55 file is. And I won't be able to try loading from a disk until I have a working disk drive. That's going to be a project. My internal drive doesn't work.
